[FALL] With Fall Just Around The Cornerthere is plenty that needs to be done. Please take a few minutes to read our tips for preparing your home for fall.
Take a walk through your house inspecting all doors, windows, hinges and locks. You should replace anything damaged.
Change your furnace filter. Its a simple, yet important thing to do. In fact, you should remember to replace your air filter once a month or at the very least once every season. You will find your home has cleaner air and air better circulation.
You should look at your garage door(s) to determine whether or not you need to make any repairs before the cold weather arrives. Make sure to inspect the panels for maintanance purposes and automatic door openers, safety measures and openings.
When it comes to dusting be sure to let gravity help, such as dusting the picture frames & plants first, followed by the tables and chairs then baseboards and trim. Always vacuum last as dust settles to the floor.
If you found it cold in your home last year, perhaps a check into getting more installation in the attic or caulking the exteriors of the window frames to prevent drafts.
Make sure to check your Furnace; turn your furnace on and make sure its working before the cold weather arrives. Chances are you will smell an odd burning smell at first but thats because your firing up the furnace for the first time likely since the early spring and dust and cobwebs could be burning, no cause for alarm(but monitor it). Remember to open a window or two to help the smell pass, if the smell does not pass, shut down your furnace immediately and call in a professional to take a look. Its better to be safe then sorry! Its a better idea to have a professional in to clean and tune your furnace in the fall prior to firing it up for the first time.
A home with central heating can lose up to 60% of its heated air before that air reaches the vents if your ductwork isn't well connected and insulated. Make sure to check your ducts for large gaps and cracks so your not wasting money and don't end up with cold spots and a chilly house! Another ducts fact is having your ducts vacuumed out once every year to ensure dust and hair is removed, as it gathers and can cause breathing problems and can make you more prone to getting sick.
If you have a chimney, don't forget about it! chimneys don't need to be swept every year, however they should be inspected before use at the beginning of the season. To keep out cold weather, remember to close the damper when the fireplace isn't in use.
Remember to check your smoke alarms every season, a lot run on batteries and most have a battery back-up and need to be maintained for proper safety. The batteries NEED to be "tested" regularly! Your smoke detectors on the other hand have a shelf life need to be replaced every ten years.
While your at it; checking your Carbon-Monoxide detectors should be important. Each home should have at least one!
Once the leaves fall, you should remove them and any other debris from your home's [Leaves in Gutter] gutters.Leaves and other debris can lead to backed up gutters and freezing. Both can be very dangerous. Gutters are designed to carry water away from the actual foundation of your home. If your gutters are compromised due to objects &/or leaves/debris, flooding can happen.
It's good to grab some fall fertilizer for your grass and gardens to cut down on weeds as well as make your grass green for Spring.
Fall means cooler weather, cooler weather means, less of a need for your swimming pool. So make sure to have your pool properly closed. If you cant personally close your pool, make sure to hire professionals who can.

A Little History Mrs. Mitchell’s Restaurant opened its doors in 1980, named in tribute to the school’s last and longest serving teacher, for her many years of dedication to her students. The schoolhouse, was full of rich history from Mrs. Mitchell herself. Built in 1889, Mulmur Township School Section 2 operated for 79 years before closing in 1968. The school and surrounding community together survived the social and cultural upheaval of two World Wars and the Great Depression. The Orange Lodge across the road played an important role in the lives of early settlers in our region. As a gathering place it was vital to the fraternity and identity of its members. Th e building became home to Granny Taught Us How in 1978. Both historic landmark buildings were renovated with great care and respect for their heritage. We still enjoy that enduring sense of community here in the hamlet of Violet Hill. Mrs. Mitchell's Restaurant Fine Dining - Granny Taught Us How Shopping - Perfect gifts, decor treasures and one of a kind finds. The store is filled with possibilities from the artsy and amusing to the sophisticated and sublime , from rustic and cozy to glitzy and glamorous. There is something there for everyone! |

Laurie and Scott were amazing with the purchase of our home.
Very knowledgable and patient and always took the time to answer questions or concerns.
Laurie would go out of her way to help us and made herself available. Nice to call or text and get a quick response.
We were so happy with Laurie and Scott that we recommended her to mother who is selling her home in Toronto.
We trust them and wouldn't go anywhere else to buy or sell.
Thank you Laurie and Scott for the exceptional service you provide your clients.

Laurie Mortimer has been our Real Estate Agent for the past ten years. During that time we have purchased numerous properties including single dwelling homes as well as multiple dwelling properties. During this time Laurie has demonstrated an understanding of what the goals of CLASS are and she researched and found properties that have met our goals.
In general we have found Laurie to be honest, conscientious and straight-forward person to deal with. We have appreciated her integrity and her advice to purchase or walk away from opportunities. These traits make it easy for me to recommend Laurie for your real-estate needs.
Based on our history it is our intention to continue our relationship with Laurie.
