Christmas will soon be upon us. Most will start decorating their homes for the holidays in the next few weeks. Also, it is getting cold. Many will pull out those convenient space heaters, plug in lights and favorite decorations.
If you look around you may be shocked. By this I mean at what lazy habits you, a client, friend or a family member may have. We are all told to be careful with extension cords. Don't use frayed ones, don't plug multiple items into one. Don't over do. But sometimes we all get lazy or forget.
I never stop to check the outlets at a home I may have listed. I may want to think about looking now. I may want to remind my kids that are younger and don't have time to worry about such things. You see, this photo of a plug that melted and was ready to catch fire we just caught at a family member's home this week! Shocking but it could have been devestating. Be sure to think about these cords and be safe!
