DayLight Savings Time - Coming UP!!!!

By
Real Estate Agent with iNet Realty
  

Daylight Saving Time begins March 9 and we "spring forward" - that is, turn our clocks ahead one hour.

Our family uses this time to change our toothbrushes, go to our dentist for a cleaning.

We can also take this time to check the pilots for our heaters and stoves.  Clean out the filters for your airconditioning.  If you still have not done it, it is a good time to give your car a tune up or an oil change.

It's also the perfect time to replace the batteries in your smoke detectors.  Though seven out of eight homes have smoke detectors, one-fourth of them don't work due to dead or missing batteries.  Don't be part of that statistic.  Dead batteries can't save lives!

Can't wait for the time change.  No more showing homes in the dark after regular business hours!

Chris - Thank you for the comment.  Have you  noticed how suddenly it doesn't get dark as early as it did in January?  I remember standing in the dark at 5 pm in this house with a mini-flashlight in my hand waiting for my client to show up.  The house they wanted to see had no electricity.  I ended up showing that house to them with that mini flashlight!
