We all know the drill: You wake up on a Saturday with every intention of doing some pre-winter maintenance but ditch your best-laid plans as soon as you feel the late-summer sun on your shoulders. Take a tip from the experts and avoid putting off till next Saturday (or next year) what you can do in a snap today—whether it’s replacing old weather-stripping or adjusting the pitch of the gutters.

Those Hot Summer Days
Crystal, our office compliance director, always has fun gadgets. Recently I noticed she had a miniature fan connected to her phone that was rapidly whirring and cooling the area.
