- Roof Have it checked every
two years for cracks that may lead to leaking. After 2 to 3 years it needs
to be re-coated.
- Beams, Posts, Rough Woods
Apply a coat of sealer every two years. Use Frazee Cedar Bark (See the
list of suppliers).
- Air-Conditioning Change
the fan filter at least four times a year. A service contract helps insure
longevity of the system.
- Smoke Alarms Replace
batteries once a year
- Landscaping Use
pre-emergent twice a year - January and July. Pre-emergent must be watered
in after each application. Weeds must be removed first before the
pre-emergent is applied. Prune shrubs after frost danger (March). All
water must run away from the house or it will seep under the foundation
causing serious problems. Use Ironite on shrubs in January, May and
October.
- Keep your outside address light
in working condition. All residents should be aware that the HOA
replaces address light bulbs with 25 watt bulbs.
- Irrigation Check the
breaker periodically, especially after lightning storms. Twist the
emitters every few months to release mineral build up. Wrap irrigation
pipes and valve with insulated tape for the cold weather.
- Toilets It is suggested
that toilet cleaners that are hung from the tank or sit inside the tank
not be used. Experience has shown that they eat the plastic fittings,
causing leakage. Toilets are low water usage types, required by law. Be
cautious what you throw in.
- Windows Keep weep holes
open.
- Bugs Spray the foundation
once a month in the winter; twice a month in the warmer weather. Use ant
and roach traps in the garage during the warm months.
- Termites Get a termite
contract if you dont already have one and have a free inspection at least
once a year.
