Spring is around the corner, but winter hasn’t given up yet! Remember to keep your foundation vents closed and the heat on to your home to avoid frozen pipes and unwanted damage. Even when the weather seems to be warming, be prepared. Central Oregon is notorious for surprising us with a sudden cold snap any time of year!
The Old Mill area is adding some exciting new stores and restaurants in the old Box Factory, and we are happy to be a part of the renovation. Our plumbers are doing a fantastic job, and we couldn’t be more proud of them. Foxtail Bakery, Fix and Repeat, and River Pig Saloon will be here soon. We’ll keep you posted!
Did you get a new puppy for Christmas, or do you already have a four-legged member of your family? Is bathing them less than ideal? If you have the room, you could add a dog-washing station. There are a variety of tubs, basins, and custom bath stalls that can be put in to accommodate your furry friend. There are counter-height basins for small dogs, so you don’t strain your back, or a walk-in stall for a large dog that you don’t want to struggle lifting. In addition to adding convenient shelving and design elements to make grabbing their shampoo and towels a breeze, a handheld sprayhead is a must. Whether you create a space solely for your canine companion or plan a multi-use area, a dog wash station can help ease the chore of keeping fido clean!
If you plan on going out of town for the holidays, remember to make sure you don’t turn off your heat before you go! Often people try to save a little money by turning off their heat when they leave, but this can cost you big bucks when your pipes freeze. Make sure your foundation vents are closed and your home is warm enough to keep your pipes from freezing, so water damage repair isn’t the first item on your to do list for the new year!
The holidays are here along with all the delicious food we love to eat this time of year. Remember, that fat and grease that can clog your arteries can clog your home’s pipes as well. Watch how much fat and grease are going down your drains and save yourself from having to deal with a clogged pipe this holiday season!
