Good morning, Nina Hollander good list....most I've done....a few I don't need to do (composite deck) and no mildew.... BUT, my clothes washer spin cycle just died.... so much for Sansung.... thankfully, I have a backup system in my basement.... a Maytag, older and working!!!!

Wayne Martin hi Wayne... I lived that lifestyle for most of my adult life until we moved to Charlotte in 1989 into a single family home... in NYC, San Francison, Paris, London. I miss those days from time to time.
Barbara Todaro last year got rid of my Maytags for LG machines... never been happier. I had Maytag for years, but when we bought new Maytag machines for our current home when we built it in 2006, no one told me that they had been purchased by Whirlpool and that they were no longer the Maytag machines I'd known and loved for years.
Hello Nina - proper home maintenance requires regular attention so your May checklist is a good reinforcement for home owners. New as well as those who are not-so-new.

Michael Jacobs hi Michael... I remind all my first time home buyers that a home is a "living and breathing" entity that needs care and attention. I remind the rest of them via monthly home maintenance update emails.

I am using your home maintenance checklist every month so far and have gotten a lot done. Thank you!
Happy Friday Nina Hollander

Nina, great list to check off, and already cleaned the grill last month. That is how I cook, so it has to be clean. Took the cover off the A/C condenser yesterday, as it was near 90 already!

Sheri Sperry - MCNE® hi Sheri... I know... it's been such an odd year it's hard to even know what day of the week it is, much less what month it is!
Nick Vandekar, 610-203-4543 that's one chore I never worry about, Nick... I've never actually owned a bbq grill!

Ron and Alexandra Seigel thanks, Alexandra... at my end, still waiting for a call back from my HVAC guy to service the AC units for the coming summer, even though we've actually been running them for some weeks now.
Joan Cox hi Joan... as you know, I don't own a grill so not worries for me in that regard. I didn't know AC condensers had covers.... not something you see much of here.
Joan Cox
Denver, CO
They are to keep the leaves out of the condenser, and keep them cleaner.
Roy Kelley thank, Roy. Hopefully your weather will cooperate soon enough to do some yard work.
Lawrence "Larry" & Sheila Agranoff. Cell: 631-805-4400 thanks, Sheila... I try to provide maintenance items each month that are for both indoor and outdoor.
Grant Schneider hi Grant, our painter is coming over on Tuesday to look at my porch floor which needs a paint job. Fortunately no walkways to paint... just to pressure wash.
Hi Nina,
Happy May Day! I do need to schedule a window washing!

Carol Williams happy May Day to you, Carol. I need to have windows washed, my front porch painted, and my screened porch hosed down to get rid of pollen.
Carol Williams
Wenatchee, WA
Pollen is a problem here now too. The wind doesn't help. I've been having to clean my walkway and courtyard of blossoms and other debris daily.

Carol Williams our pollen arrived early this year. I cleaned off my front porch a couple of weeks ago, but still haven't gotten to the screened porch... hate that "job" so much.
Nina good list. I have a couple of things on your list to do this weekend.

Endre Barath, Jr. same here in my household, Endre. I had to teach my husband many years ago how to change a light bult (seriously). We have learned to have wonderful handymen/contractors in our lives who take very good care of us.

James Dray good morning to you, James... I get that feeling myself more often than I like to think!
George Souto hi George... when I prepare these lists, I'm always reminded of something I need to have taken care of in my house, as well.
You remind me, we need to stain our deck this Spring. We replaced the cedar boards last fall, and wanted it to weather a bit before staining, per the experts.

Debb Janes EcoBroker and Bernie Stea JD hi Debb... our front porch needs a paint this spring. When it's time to replace I'm going over to trex material to minimize the maintenance.
Hell Nina, I am ahead of some of he items working outside while some area are shut down till May 8 of us showing homes. Thanks for you list.

Will Hamm hi Will... thanks for stopping by... I hope this list was helpful to you. Wishing you a good rest of the weekend.
Hi Nina Hollander, much of the maintenance items are done by a handyman, what would I do without him? This is a great list for all of us. Have an awesome weekend!

Beth Atalay hi Beth... same here... but first people need to know what should be done whether they do it themselves or not. And I find an awful lot of deferred maintenance when speaking with prospective sellers.
Nina but I do know how to shop for food and cook up a storm:) yes it is good to be aware of our strengths and weaknesses:)Endre
p.s.: funny about the light bulb

Endre Barath, Jr. at least you can do that. I once sent my husband around the corner in Paris to pick something up from the grocer... he got lost for 45 minutes and came home with nothing. That should have been a 10 minute trip.
Then there was the time when I was in NYC visiting family when we lived in Abu Dhabi. In the middle of the night in NY he called me to ask how to heat something up. I told him to turn the oven on to 350 degrees and then put the dish in for 30 minutes. 15 minutes later, just as I was falling asleep again the phone rang again... it was Chris asking me which appliance was the oven!
You couldn't make up this stuff! :)
You're not alone in your thinking! Lowes is super busy these days with everyong doing DIY projects at home!
Good morning Nina. My checklist is short, pay my assessment and leave the list to others. Advantage of downtown living. Enjoy your day!
