Las Vegas Homes Household Chores to Fulfill for the Holidays
With Christmas just around the corner, you must be
more than stressed just from thinking about how you can get your Las Vegas homes ready for the
coming Yuletide celebrations. Indeed, while prepping up your home can be a tall
order, there are tips than can help you do the job as easily as possible.
1. The Yuletide season means cold evenings as you
gather around your family. However, you can provide warmth to them by keeping
the fireplace lit. This is why it is a must that your fireplace as well as
chimney is properly maintained and serviced. It must be clear of leaves, soot,
debris, and even small animals to ensure proper ventilation.
2. Pay close attention to your beloved pets. You
must be cautious about using certain Yuletide flowers such as Poinsettias,
which can be poisonous to both cats and dogs. It must also be noted that there
are certain ice melt that are considered to be dangerous to our pets’ paws.
They can also cause pet illness when ingested.
3. Have your Las Vegas homes ready with
fire extinguishers, which must be placed in strategic places. Christmas means a
lot of cooking, which can also be a cause for any cooking fire or accident.
Another cause of fire is defective Christmas lights lit around the Christmas
tree. It is a must to have a fire extinguisher ready. However, make sure that
members of the household know how to operate it.
4. Check power lines near your home. Lines to your
home that come from the streets must be clear of all the branches from trees.
If you notice branches crowding up on the power line, you must immediately
contact your power supplier to report it. You must remember that such tree
branches might create more problems during a snow fall. You must request for
the removal or trimming of these branches, particularly those surrounding the
power lines, to prevent future problems.
5. Protect your property while away. People go on
vacation during the holidays to escape the cold season. If you must leave, make
sure that your Las Vegas homes are safe and
protected while you are away. Never tell anyone that you are out during the
holidays. Turn on the patio light, as well as some lights inside the house. Of
course, you have to set the timer for this. Consider leaving the vehicle along
the driveway. If possible, request for the post office to keep your mail while
you are away.
