Protect your home and save
Save on storm preparedness III
Hurricanes, tornadoes and torrential rains bring the threat of strong winds, flooding, thunder and lightning. This type of weather can wreak havoc on homes and buildings in seconds.  Things like trees, garbage cans, cars, boats and debris become very dangerous objects in the midst of the storms mayhem.  Today we will look at ways to save on protecting your home and property.
  • Tree limbs, or older decadent trees should be cut down.  Purchase a decent set of trimming shears from the area home and garden store.  Better yet, scour the newspaper or craigslist for garage sales featuring yard tools.  You can grab a set of shears and an electric saw and save.
  • Remember debris left outside could be dangerous to your home or property.  Take scrap items like wood or metal to your local waste management facility.  Once a month you are allowed to trash these items free of charge.
  • Protect your home by purchasing wood to cover windows and glass doorways.  Wood can be purchased at your local hardware or home and garden store.  Make certain you properly measure those areas to ensure a good fit.  Sometimes you can find free scrap lumber.  If you ever see a sign advertising scrap lumber, its worth checking out.
  • Storing of your boat or extra car will be needful if it can fit into your garage.  Check with a relative or neighbor who has extra space.  If no one has room, contact a local storage facility for quotes on temporary storage.
