With winter here to stay make sure your faucets don't FREEZE

Now that freezing temperatures are here to stay Realtors are winterizing their vacant homes. That process made me think about what you should do for the home you are living in right now.

The most common problem we see at this time of year is caused when homeowners forget to remove garden hoses from exterior faucets and to turn off the water supply inside the house. Once this is done you need to open the outside faucet and allow the water to drain. If you can’t shut off the water inside the home you need to stop by the hardware store and pick up an insulated cover for each outside faucet.

You can find them on line at Aubuchon Hardware.
