>>
>> IT
>> IT IS
>> IT IS A TOUGH
ONE TO SAY.
>>
>>
>> THAT
>> THAT IS RIGHT, BUT THIS
IS NOT TOUGH.
I'M LOOKING AT ALL OF
THE THINGS ON THE TABLE,
I KNOW WHAT THAT IS,
BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT
THAT IS?
THAT IS?
THAT IS? >>
>>
>> WE
>> WE HAVE THE GUTTER
, SO MAINLY
WITH THE FALL, THE
RAIN, THE LEAVES FALLING DOWN,
GUTTERS CAN BE JAMMED UP.
THIS IS A LITTLE TOOL,
YOU CLIMB UP ON THE
LETTER, SCOOP THE LEAVES OUT.
>>
>>
>> WHY
>> WHY IS
>> WHY IS IT IMPORTANT
TO SCOOP THE LEAVES OUT OF OUR
GUTTER,
GUTTER,
GUTTER, WHY CAN'T WE JUST
LEAVE THEM?
LEAVE THEM? >>
>>
>> THE
>> THE WATER WILL SIT,
IT IS GOOD TO
CLEAN THE GUTTER.
THIS IS A CHEAP ONE,
BUT YOU COULD HAVE LEAF GUARD.
THIS ONE YOU JUST PUT
DOWN IN YOUR GUTTER WHERE
THE DOWNSPOUT IS , IT WILL
GUARD FROM DEBRIS GOING DOWN.
HERE'S A NEW ONE,
YOUR DOWNSPOUT
YOUR DOWNSPOUT , COMING DOWN
, DETACH THE BOTTOM,
THERE IS LITTLE CLIPS
HERE, PUT THE SCREWS TO IN
, WHAT THIS DOES IS
ALL OF THE LEAVES AND
THE DEBRIS
THE DEBRIS FLY OUT, AND THAT
WATER CAN THEN GO DOWN.
DOES IT MATTER, DO WE
NEED TO MEASURE.
THIS IS IN THE GUTTER
, THE TOP OF THE SPELL.
THIS ONE IS MAINLY
FOR THE TRUCK COMING
DOWN FROM THE SPOUT ITSELF.
>>
>>
>> IMPORTANT, CLEAN OUT YOUR
GUTTERS
GUTTERS
GUTTERS PRIOR TO WINTER, WHEN
THE RAIN STARTS.
>>
>>
>> THE
>> THE OTHER THING IS
I BROUGHT A GENERIC
HOSE BIB, WITH WINTER COMING
YOU WANT TO EITHER
-- [INAUDIBLE] IF YOU HAVE A
SHUT OFF VALVE IS WHEN
THE HOUSE , MOST TIME
OLDER HOMES WILL HAVE IT.
SHUT OFF THE VALVE,
GO BLEED THE LINE OUT
BY TURNING IT ON
AND THEN THE WATER
WILL JUST COME DOWN.
THE OLDER HOSE BED WILL
NOT HAVE A VACUUM BREAKER.
THIS
THIS
THIS PREVENTS WATER FROM BEING
TRAPPED INSIDE.
TRAPPED INSIDE. >>
>>
>> I'M
>> I'M LEARNING A LOT OF
NEW TERMS HERE.
THIS IS GOOD.
HANDY WOMEN.
HANDY WOMEN. THIS IS THE FOSSA COVER. I HAVE
ONE OF THESE
EVERY SINGLE ONE IN
THE WINTER?
THE WINTER? >>
>>
>> VERY
>> VERY IMPORTANT.
VERY IMPORTANT. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING I
THINK I SHOULD BE MY VIEWERS IS
DETACHING
DETACHING
DETACHING YOUR HOSE
YOUR HOSE
YOUR HOSE , YOUR GARDEN HOSE
, FROM THE SUMMER, DETACHING
THAT
THAT
THAT BEFORE YOU DO ALL
OF THIS AND THEN USE
THIS TO COVER THAT.
>>
>>
>> THAT
>> THAT IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE YOU
DON'T WANT
DON'T WANT WATER STUCK IN THE HOSE.
>> YES.
>> YES.
>> YES. ANOTHER THING WE TALK ABOUT
INSULATION, IS AN INSULATED
PIPE.
PIPE.
PIPE. THIS YOU CAN GET AT
THE HOME STORE OR WHATEVER ,
TAKE IT,
TAKE IT,
TAKE IT, HERE'S THE PIPE PROBABLY
HANGING SUMMER, JUST CLICK THAT
ON
ON
ON ,
ON , AND
ON , AND NOW WE WILL INSULATE
-- WILL WE SEE THESE
TYPES OUT AND ABOUT
, I DON'T KNOW IF
I'VE EVER NOTICED A PIPE.
>>
>>
>> IF
>> IF YOUR GARAGE IS
NOT COVERED BY DRYWALL OR
INSULATION.
INSULATION. IF YOU CAN SEE THESE
PIPES, COVER THEM UP.
ANOTHER THING IS, WHEN YOU'RE
GOING TOWARDS THE WINDOW,
A LOT OF TIMES
WHOLE BREEZES COME THROUGH
INTO YOUR WINDOW.
TAKING OUT THE MOLDING FROM
THE INSIDE, PUTTING THE SPRAY
FOAM IN BETWEEN THE CRACKS WILL
PREVENT
PREVENT
PREVENT THAT BREEZE COMING IN.
>>
>>
>> NOT
>> NOT ONLY IS IT
MORE COMFORTABLE FOR YOUR HOME,
IT ALSO SAVES MONEY AND ENERGY.
>> SMART.
>> SMART.
>> SMART. TALKING ABOUT WINDOWS, YOU CAN
WALK AROUND THE OUTSIDE OF
YOUR HOUSE AND JUST
LOOK.
LOOK.
LOOK. MOST OF THE TIME
SOMETIMES IT WILL SHRINK
, OR DETERIORATE,
JUST REMOVE THE OLD
STUFF, PUT IN THE NEW
WHEN IT'S NOT RAINING. YOU
BETTER DO IT NOW.
[LAUGHTER]
[LAUGHTER] THAT WILL HELP YOU
TO WINTERIZE YOUR HOME.
THE LAST THING I HAVE HERE
IS FOR YOUR DOORS
I JUST BROUGHT A SAMPLE
YOU CAN BUY THIS
, YOU CUT IT TO LENGTH.
IN YOUR DOORJAMB WHEN YOU
OPEN YOUR DOOR, THERE IS
AN INSERT IN THERE.
IT HAS
IT HAS
IT HAS WEATHER TRIPPING.
WEATHER TRIPPING. ALL YOU HAVE
TO DO IS PEEL THE
OLD ONE OUT
, AND JUST STICK THE
NEW ONE IN.
THEN YOU WILL SAVE SO
MUCH TIME, MONEY AND HEADACHES.
>>
>>
>> THIS
>> THIS IS SO INTERESTING
TO ME, BECAUSE I THINK
A LOT OF PEOPLE
WILL GET HOME IMPROVEMENTS
ON WINTERIZING LIKE THAT IS
DAUNTING.
DAUNTING.
DAUNTING. YOU KNOW A LOT ABOUT
THIS, AND YOU FIND
THAT A LOT OF
PEOPLE DO NOT DO THIS. WHAT
KIND OF PROJECTS
TO DO AND DO YOU
SEE MOST?
SEE MOST?
SEE MOST? >>
>>
>> WHAT
>> WHAT I
>> WHAT I SEE MOST IS
THE HOSE BIBS.
MAINLY I'M
MAINLY I'M DOING PLUMBING NOW.
THE HOSE BIB BUSTING, BECAUSE
THEY DIDN'T WINTERIZE IT.
THEY DIDN'T HAVE IT COVERED,
THEY HAVE THE HOSE CONNECTED
TO IT , AND YOU GOT THERE.
EVEN HERE WE DON'T, WITH
A TON OF SNOW AND
FREEZING COLD WEATHER.
IT IS A
IT IS A
IT IS A PRETTY MILD WINTER
COMPARED TO A LOT
OF OTHER PLACES
THAT HAVE HARSH WINTERS.
IT
IT
IT IS
IT IS SO
IT IS SO IMPORTANT FOR US
TO DO?
TO DO?
TO DO? >>
TO DO? >> YES.
>> YES.
>> YES. SOMETIMES THE PIPES ARE
OLD AND AGAINST THEM, BECAUSE
THE VOLUME OF WATER
GOING THROUGH YOUR HOUSE.
THAT HELPS, TO.
TO BREAK THE PIPE.
>>
>>
>> WE
>> WE DEFINITELY DON'T WANT
THAT TO HAPPEN, DO WE?
>>
>>
>> THESE
>> THESE ARE ALL REALLY GOOD
IDEAS AND YOU CAN PROBABLY
GET ALL OF THIS DONE
IN ONE DAY.
>>
>>
>> DEPENDING ON HOW
BIG YOUR HOUSES , BUT YEAH.
MAYBE ONE WEEKEND.
>>
>>
>> TAKE

AND SEE WHAT NEEDS TO DEED
-- SHOULD BE DONE.

ADD A LITTLE BIT, IF
YOU ARE UNCOMFORTABLE ON A
LADDER
LADDER
LADDER ,
LADDER , TO CLIMB UP AND
CLEAN, HIRE SOMEONE.
THEY WILL
