Maintenance Reminders
• Check decks, porches, and steps. These areas get very slick when wet or icy; consider installing an antiskid type material on them.
• Winterize air conditioning systems. If you have central air, cover the outside unit with a tarp or plastic sheet and secure with bungee cords.
