A home is, for most of us, our biggest single investment and like any other asset, it needs to be cared for an protected. This seems like an obvious statement but many home owners become overwhelmed with where to start and how to prioritize what needs to be done. In an attempt to provide some guidance, I began researching ways in how to make home maintenance a slightly less daunting endeavor. After far too much time spent choosing which picture to use with this entry, I decided to delve into the million or so "home owner" sites finally settling on the National Association of Home Builders trusting they would have a strong grasp on this topic. This site is a wealth of information and I found this Home Maintenance Quiz particularly helpful as it was both simple and educational. Although Home Maintenance Quiz doesn't cover every single house project imaginable, it does provide a very useful guideline for home owners to determine what needs to be addressed and at bare minimum a great jumping off point. Summer is here and what better time to spend a little time working on your house to ensure many more years in it!
