Prevent ice dams next winter, start a maintenance program now
Tips to Prevent Ice Dams next winter
Maintenance is the best medicine, be sure that you or a contractor checks your attic insulation, make sure that all heat is blocked from coming up through the ceiling or around pipes.
Be sure that your attic has correct ventilation
This should be done especially in the fall, as a preventive measure.
Install electric heating coils and be sure they are turned on before a storm
Clear your roof of snow as soon as possible after a snowstorm. be sure you remove it evenly.
Roof rakes can be purchased., If you do not want to do it yourself snow plow contractors might handle the roof raking for you.
If you have a management company, in a condominium, be sure that they do preventive maintenance and check your attic before fall
All condominiums and single family homes should have preventive measures taken from day one on the exterior of the buildings including roof, gutters, spouts, driveways, doors, windows, shingles, siding, etc. Strong winds in summer in New England can do as much damage as the ice dams in winter, if maintenance is let go.
Often people do not realize that if your house has a side exposed to a lot of sun , the paint will fade on that side faster than on the other side of the house. On the other hand, if the house faces north, you could have a bigger problem with ice dams, because the freezing begins quicker on the north side of the house, building up and then lifting shingles.
There are many contractors who specialize in remodeling that will give you a price on taking care of spring and summer check ups for your home, preventive maintenance is often less expensive than a big repair.

How to Remove Black Mold in a Shower | eHow.com
How to Remove Black Mold in a Shower eHow.com It is easy to take a shower and run away, however, that is how trouble starts.
If the kids do not rinse and wipe down the shower with shower spray you can buy the automatic spray that fits on the shower head.
Cleanliness of your shower is important, it stops the build up of body oil on the walls, and a clean shower prevents the growth of mold. Be sure and turn on the shower light when you are showering and cleaning the shower, and I often leave it on and leave the door open or curtain aside, so light can get in after you clean the shower, to prevent the growth of mold. Remember mold likes damp, dark places.

Renters you can afford Uxbridge, Holden, Bellingham ? Drive for 5 years and still be ahead!
Uxbridge Low $200,000's NEW HOMES, choose your style and your lot! Take your time, you can choose one under construction, or buy in the next group to be built, allowing time to save more money and let your aparment lease run out.
Travel time to the Metroplex...Natick , Framingham is about 30 minutes. Gas is expensive, but...what you save on buying a new home, and on having ownership, balanced against the cost of the gas, can possibly save you money in the long run. Most new buyers stay in their first home 5-7 years, and at that rate with the slow build market, there should be a recovery of rising prices within the next 5-7 years.
If you agree with this thinking, then come see Uxbridge, Mass. we have open house on site, Sundays
and by appointment other times. Uxbridge is a great young family area. We are building single family , (you take care of your own house) on condominium land, ( plowing and lawn care is in the Association, written in the documents.)
