Home Fixes You Should Carry Out Regularly

May 6, 2020 by Ashley T

Keeping the home as it should be is something that can take a lot of time and effort. But there are certains ways in which you can save time here, and one of the main ways is to know which home fixes you should be doing regularly. By doing them regularly and not leaving them until the last minute or until something goes wrong, you will save a lot of time overall and probably save some money too. In this article, we are going to take a look at some of the home fixes that you should be thinking about keeping on top of during this time of quarantine where you are probably stuck at home anyway.

The Roof

Depending on where you live and what the climate is like, you might find that you often need to take a look at the roof to have it repaired. That’s because many roofs are going to struggle with a lot of inclement weather, and it is something that you will want to keep on top of. There are many services who are learning how to get roofing leads through facebook ads allowing them to reach the right audience. If you allow the roof to become too damaged, then you might struggle to keep your home dry and safe, and that is not what you want to happen. So instead, make sure that you call out the local roofing contractors every now and then to check on it, and have repaired anything that might need repairing. One of the best roofing contractors that you can ever find is Prime Roofing. You’ll find this helps give you a greater peace of mind in no time.

Guttering & Drains

People often don’t give a second thought to their guttering and drainage, unless it goes wrong. Over time gutter and downspout systems get clogged up with leaves, dirt, moss, and birds nests. Instead of draining rainwater safely away from your home, you end with pools of water around your property and potential damage to your roof and walls. 

If you live in a single-story home, you might want to tackle the gutter clearing yourself, otherwise, leave it to the professionals who can have it done in no time.

Windows & Doors

If you find that there is anything wrong with any of your windows and doors, then taking a look at them as soon as possible is going to be a privacy and security issue as much as anything else. There might be cracks in the window or the door might be coming off its hinges – whatever it is, either have it done yourself or find someone who can do it for you as soon as possible and to a good price. The windows and doors are an essential part of the home, and them working properly is vital to the home being in its best possible state of repair.

Smaller DIY Jobs

Not everything requires that you call someone out, of course. There are any number of smaller jobs around the home which you might want to do yourself in order to keep the home in its best state possible. Many of these tasks could provide some entertainment and distraction during a lockdown, so they are likely to be especially important for that purpose too at the moment. Whether you have got a shelf that could do with fixing or a bedspring that needs replacing, you can while away some time getting these done while you are at home. As long as you do that, you should find that your home is in a much better place. That is going to make it easier to be proud of it, which is something that many people want from their homes.

The first quote is from the song “Moment” by Victoria Monét. I love the song, listen when you get a chance. 

Goodbye 2020, Hello 2021!

Paul said I created a fire hazard on my #bulletjou Paul said I created a fire hazard on my #bulletjournal “Books read in 2021” page. But it came out better than I thought it would. 

My soft goal for 2021 is 30 books which I’m pretty sure I can make. My hard goal is 45. Once school ends, I’ll have more time to read and make it through the list I’ve built up. Can’t wait!

I always make it a point to read a certain amount I always make it a point to read a certain amount of books each year but the last 2 or so years, I just haven’t read that many. So, I’m writing down books I plan on reading in 2021 and making sure I follow though. 

Anyone else have an amount of books they want to read in 2021? I’ll have a follow up post with the spread for my “books read in 2021”.

However, with thanksgiving giving me a much needed break from work and school, I hopped on to make the last month of the year.

I have to admit that I’m extremely excited to work on my 2021 #bulletjournal  because I’ll be started in a new book and will have plenty of time to figure out how I want the beginning to look. Be sure to lookout for it!

Families in need can drive to Pizza Cottage Pickerington to receive a FREE package of diapers (sizes 1-6, no newborn or pull-ups). The event starts at 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. or until supplies run out.
Don’t judge me: I drove to a parking spot area n Don’t judge me: I drove to a parking spot area near the path so I could avoid walking through our neighborhood. Only because I wanted a change of scenery while I walked today. 

I realized today that walking is great for my mental health. I’ve felt better the past 3 days because I started my day walking,  thinking and listening to music. I feel motivated to get things done.
