Keep Your Downspout
The downspout sits at the side of the house and looks unsightly. Most homeowners want to beautify their spaces, so they remove it. This could be a bad thing because it keeps water away from the foundation! It’s best to just leave it alone!
Proper Grill Placement
You can’t imagine summertime without a backyard barbecue. However, before you light up the grill, make sure that it’s about 3 feet away from your home, vehicle, trees, and other flammable items. Thousands of house fires could have been prevented if the grill wasn’t so close to the structure.
