The summer sprinkler.
It’s been so hot, that I hope some of you have gone old school and set up the sprinkler in the back yard to cool off. And, if you’re fancy, you slide it under the trampoline, and create your own mini water park for the kids.
It’s a great way to cool off, and have fun, and beat the heat!
The fun summer sprinkler.
Earlier this week, I had my own summer sprinkler. Mind you, it was my hot water tank deciding that it had lived its best life, and cried with emotion all over my utility room. Ok, that may be a tad bit dramatic, but it’s a reality of home ownership – appliances fail.
The not-so-fun summer sprinkler.
While frustrating, I didn’t have that much damage, and after a bit of clean up, and a call to the plumber, we’re back in business. Shout out to Jody at Jablonski Electric Plumbing & Heating – had me back up and running within 4 hours!
It’s a reminder that home maintenance is one of those important things to be mindful of. While we can’t predict when some of these things may happen, it’s important to prepare for them, and be aware of items that may require attention.
Some of those items will sneak up on you, but some we can be ready for. Maintaining the systems that make our homes comfortable and safe is important and when it comes time for another family to make it their home, well maintained homes fetch more in price every single time.
May your sprinklers be outside this summer, and for the next couple days while it’s HOT, set one up for the kids (and the kids at heart!) – they’ll be thankful for it, and getting outside is a great thing!
