An apology to
my readers. After sending the deck newsletter, my laptop died. I lost quite a
bit of time and e-mail migrating first to a Mac, then back to Windows. Please
accept my apology if you sent e-mail and didn't receive a response. This summer
has been a technology challenge.
Home Maintenance FALL Checklist
While enjoying the beautiful fall weather, we know that winter
is fast approaching. You can save money by
taking care of routine maintenance on a regular basis. Each of our seasonal
checklists will help you identify important projects for this time of
year.
Our fall checklist helps you prevent accidents around your home,
reduce home heating costs and contain the cost of repairs due to water damage,
through timely prevention before hidden structural damage
occurs
Americans spend
more than 80% of their time indoors but first impressions are important. A
beautiful entry door can increase the value of your home. You can can save
energy and taxes with a fiberglass door that provides 3 to 7 times the
insulation value of wood. The articles below will help you select a new door,
along with guidelines for ordering your new door.
For one lucky reader,
we have a new Thermatru Smooth Star door donated
by our supplier, Harvey Industries. My Handyman
will install the door for you in time for winter and the holidays!
A front door reflects the
personality of a home and the family who lives there. The style is one element
of your home's design, so it should compliment and enhance the overall look and
feel. Style can be casual, traditional, formal or artistically reflect
influences from around the world.
Doors are also functional. The first
step to selecting a door, like many large purchases, is to decide what you hope
to gain from a new door. Requirements to consider when purchasing a new door
include the style of the door, use of glass and surrounding trim, materials and
energy efficiency, security, brand and budget.
Purchasing a
new exterior door is not as easy as making a trip to Home Depot. After selecting
an entry door to purchase, there is a lot of information needed to order the
correct door. This article covers the information My Handyman gives Harvey Industries when ordering a new exterior door, and
addresses problems our customers have experienced when purchasing doors from
other suppliers.
We appreciate your
business and look forward to providing you with great information, products and
special offers in the future.
