We recently discovered an article about necessary skills every homeowner should know:
- Keep all warranty, assembly, and operating information for each appliance or item in your house filed, this way when something goes wrong you know where to go to find a solution.
- Unclogging a drain typically will mean using drainage chemicals or a plumbing snake. Nowadays you don’t even need a plumbing wrench to separate the pipes under your sinks to find debris. Of course make sure the water is off and you have plenty of towels and buckets ready.
- Know where your breaker box is and ensure each is labeled with a permanent marker.
- Know where your main water and electrical shutoffs are, either by referring to your inspection or asking the individuals who read your meters.
- Have a list of vendors who perform every job that could possibly come up readily accessible so at any time you need help you can get it.
- On occasion, your house will need routine maintenance such as cleaning, repairing, or replacing A/C units, older appliances, filters, etc…It’s best to maintain your home rather than wait for something to go wrong!
