What a
way to bring in the New Year!
3 Days
BELOW FREEZING! AND
WINTER
AIN’T OVER !!!! SAFETY- SAFETY –SAFETY
Electric
Heater cautions: Do NOT
put too many electric decices on one circuit. This
can cause overload, burn the outlet, and cause the house to catch on fire, and
you are responsible.
(from last month) Do you have propane in your tank?
If your furnace is not lit, be careful when you light it: keep safe. If
you don’t know how, call me(512-353-4860 or 512-757-0083)
and make arrangements for service. If
you wait until the last minute and have any furnace problems, you might have to wait several hours,
perhaps days,
before we can get a service tech to inspect and make the necessary furnace
repairs. You will be charged any fees that are above
normal fees if you wait and require this last minute service. Be
prepared in advance!!
Check your smoke alarm batteries monthly. This could save your life!
If you do not have a smoke
alarm. Or yours is broken, ,
contact our office 512-353-4860 for assistance. or
Eric Myers at 512-757-0083 or

DUMPSTER ISSUES
Dumpsters are for residential trash only. No furniture, no appliances, no junk.
DO NOT put items you think someone might want in front of, or
around dumpsters. Take it to Goodwill,
Women’s Shelter, Salvation Army NEW IDEA…Thanks to a partnership between Amazon
and Goodwill Industries, now you can clear out the clutter and donate to
charity at the same time.
Under the Give Back Box program, you can donate the items
you no longer want and ship them to Goodwill for free.
Just follow these three steps to participate:
1.
Empty
your old Amazon shipping box.
2.

the box with clothing, accessories and household goods you no longer want. Then
print your free shipping label at GiveBackBox.com.
3.
Drop
off your box to UPS or the U.S. Postal Service (USPS). They'll deliver it to
the nearest participating Goodwill location.
4.
It time to review Renter Insurance to
cover any unexpected damages. Some may
need to call their Renter Insurance carrier after this last freeze.This
insurance is cheap&easily gotten from internet or
Automobile Insurance

Change you smoke alarm batteries, Be sure your fire extinguisher (s) are in working
order. If you do not have these items,
or yours is broken, contact me and I will help you get this resolved. If you have a gas furnace, you have Carbon
Monoxide decters.

FREEZE ALERT …AGAIN
Hello
everyone!
Since September I have been advising you to check your heating
systems, smoke alarms, and fire extinguishers to be ready for the COLD weather
and any possible problems. As you know, cold weather is here!!!
It will get well below freezing tonight
and this weekend.
It is your responsibility to do everything you can to avoid
frozen pipes &subsequent damage.
Make sure you have propane and your heater is working safely.
Be SAFE! Call Joe (512-644-0790), or me,if you have equipment problems.
I’ve
done all I can to get you ready!
And! If you use space heaters- which I strongly advise
against- BE SAFE and careful not to over load the outlets and they
can start a fire. Also, do not get children or any materials
(blankets, carpets, rugs, clothing etc) close to outlets because they may catch
fire.
Be sure smoke alarms are working (use batteries we gave you)
and fire extinguishers are in
place.
Drip
appropriate pipes inside to avoid damages that you will be responsible to pay.
Most units have at least
ONE (1) out-side faucet. Make
sure you leave it dripping during the freezing times.
It is a
GREAT time to review your
Renter Insurance to cover any unexpected damages. This insurance is cheap and easily gotten
from your Automobile Insurance Carrier or other carriers
Have your Renter Insurance contact information In case you have
problems.
It is your responsibilityto
help avoid unnecessary ‘Emergency Calls”, especially after normal business
hours. Any lack of effort on your part to prepare will result in YOU PAYINGfor any extra costs because of unnecessary
‘Emergency Calls” and repairs, starting at $125 plus !!!!
(Unnecessary means that you could/should have tried the system
BEFORE it got cold, and chose not to, or something froze and broke because you
did not take proper actions) It is
extremely important to live in SAFE homes, and YOU ARE PART of the team to help
insure that this will happen. AND, you may be without water for DAYS
until you find a plumber.
Best of luck.
eric
Sincerely,
Everyone at B&H Mobile Home Discount Supplies/Mockingbird Park
