Hi Nina,
This is a great list of home maintenance tips.  I regularly put coffee grounds down my disposal. I've heard that's good for the blades.

Carol Williams thanks, Carol... I never heard the coffee grounds being good to sharpen blades, but was told ice cubes work great. Maybe I'll start putting coffee grounds in the disposal each day now.

I had heard of ice cubes also in the disposal, and my coffee grounds go to the plants, It is a great fertilizer.

Nina this is a great time of the year to prepare for Winter.  I did several things today to get the outside of the house ready.

Hello Nina - the value of a good maintenance schedule that includes periodic safety checks has an excellent payback.  In multiple ways.

Michael Jacobs hi Michael... I've always believed that if you break down things into manageable, bite-size pieces it's not all that difficult to keep up with things that need to be done around a house.
