If you are an experienced homeowner you will already know about many of the chores that are in these articles;Woman wearing a tool beltbut it is our hope that by mentioning them here we may be able to save the new homeowner the sad experience of a minor neglected maintenance item turning into a major expense in the future. Quite often a few dollars or minutes spent on routine and regular home maintenance can save thousands of dollars down the road.

That is what this category is all about, a place to post a wide range of topics sometimes dealing with more than one general field; all of which are geared more towards the minor preventive maintenance aspect of home repair. The type of things that just about any homeowner can do with just a few basic tools and a minimum to moderate effort.

The first few articles will discuss routine home maintenance that should occur at least once per year. Later we plan to add some 'tips' articles.
