Christmas Decoration Tips

IDEAS AND TIPS FOR OUTDOOR DECORATION FOR CHRISTMAS.
Out side decorating can be an electrical nightmare. Below are a few new products and ideas to make your holiday a little easier.

Power Providers
There are better—and safer—ways to power your exterior decorations than running extension cords out windows that you open a crack.

•If you're willing to temporarily trade in an exterior floodlight, the SocketMax Duo (Stanley) screws into the receptacle to provide a plug with a built-in photosensor to turn lights on at dusk.

•The Lamar Stake Light (Frontgate) is a portable power strip with a protective cover and a built-in timer. When running extension cords, make sure that the cord is approved for exterior use.

•The Coldweather Cord (Woods) can stand up to temperatures as low as -58 degrees F. Another plus: The cord has a built-in light to let you know if it's getting power.

•Avoid stringing too many lights end to end with the multireceptacle Powerlink (Woods).

•When it's time to turn everything off for the night, reach for the Remote Control Light Switch (Stanley) so you don't have to go outside.

Christmas

I know it's been a while since I blogged but with the Holidays around the corner I figured I better get on here.
Have you done your decorations yet. Lots of new ideas out there this year. My favorite are the LED outside lights that work on solar power. What a great idea for Florida.
Speaking of decorations if you need someone to put yours up call Watkins Home Repair today!!!
HAVE A GREAT HOLIDAY EVERYONE...

Central Florida Heatwave

Paragraph StyleHeatwave tough on your A/C

A/C filters the best thing you can do is keep em clean. Change them or wash them real good if you have reuseables. Also keep that drain line clear a spot of bleach will help. They can clog so easily with all the extra summer use. The final thing you can do is vacuum the coils and keep them clean.

If you can't do these chores yourself give me a call I can help u out.

Remember most filters should be cleaned or changed monthly during the summer......

Thanks
Mitch

Springtime in Central Fla.

Welcome Spring
Spring forward fall back, and don't fall back cleaning those gutters. If you use an extension ladder take
that extra safety precaution and tie it off.


Besides gutter cleaning spring time is a good time to do a couple other annual chores. I chose spring so that each year its easy to remember its time.
1. Change the batteries in all your remotes and don't forget the garage door opener.
2. Batteries in your smoke detectors, change em.
3. Lubricate your door locks and hinges
4. Fertilize your lawn
5. Change your oil in the lawn mower and general maint of all your lawn equip.

Hope this helps and thanks for checking out my blog......
