Tips for around the home

Sediment in your hot water tank reduces efficiency.

Keep your water heater sediment-free by flushing it out at least once a year. When you drain your water heater, plan ahead and do it after everyone in the family takes a shower or you've run a load of dishes BE VERY CAREFUL THE WATER WILL BE VERY HOT!

A leaky faucet that drips a gallon of water in 15 minutes will use 2,974 gallons in a month.

Buy only quality paint brushes you will be amazed at the difference.

If you are not sure which outlet a switch goes to; generally it will be the one installed upside down.

Never use an electrical device outside without a GFI (ground fault interceptor) it could save your life.

Never use a larger wattage light bulb than a fixture is rated for because it will cook the wiring and cause a fire hazard.

To seal a concrete floor simply wax it with any type of floor wax.

Drywall finishing and patching with no sanding is the only way to keep drywall dust out of your home.

Federal Pacific breaker panels should all be replaced. Some States have already required it.

Tired of cleaning paint brushes put it in a plastic bag in the freezer. Then let it thaw and start painting. Frozen brushes keep a few days.

Tired of running an extension cord for Christmas lights have a GFI outlet installed in your soffit.
