Tips From "The Doc"
Home Improvement, Remodel, & Repair
When changing out an old shower or tub/shower faucet, be sure to replace it with one which has the “pressure balanced” feature. It will help to eliminate temperature changes that occur in the water when other fixtures in the home are used at the same time. Actually this type of faucet is “code” in most states today!
Selling, Purchasing, & Rental Issues
When selling a home, be sure to remember that the choice of title company could save you many dollars. Ask and then research your choices. Always, always, have an attorney skilled in real estate transactions represent at the closing....Always!
Home Security & Safety Issues
A good locksmith can re-key your entry doors to use the same key! Very convenient, safe, and if you've lived in your home more than ten years and occasionally lend out a key, it's a good idea to have a new master key made anyway.
Legal & Financial Topics
Signing a Lease? Have an attorney review it first. Don't have an attorney yet? Get one now. If you have kids, you need a Will. How about a Living Will in case of a grave illness or accident?
Landscaping & Home Maintenance
Never leave a garden hose attached to an outside faucet (sillcock) when temperatures might dip below 35°F, or you take the chance of having the device freeze and break since when the hose is attached the "non-freeze" feature of the unit can not function properly
