Rainy and winter
season come every year without doubt. A new built house may survive without any
preparation. However, after two years of surviving hot, cold, windy, rainy, and
winter a house most likely needs maintenance. Not as sturdy as the first time
built the damage that will be brought by the seasons grow higher. Maintenance
after damage can be done but the cost is higher than prevention before damage.
Most people have
already known what to do to prevent critical damage for their house. Because,
the damage will decrease the value of the house if suddenly it need to be sold
or rent. Of course, the damage will reduce the cosiness for the owners who have
lived there. Moreover, the unproven house damage from bad weather may cause
death, likewise in several incidents. Prevention may not do a thing for typhoon
damage but it absolutely save the residence from bad storm and strong wind.
Nevertheless,
people tend to forget in preparing the exterior of their house. The exterior
means the lawn or garden. Some may even think that the sturdiness of the house
is enough, whatever the exterior brought after. This line of thinking can be
included as an incorrect one. Because, even a falling branch can cause some
damages for the owner property or a nearby. Protect yourself is not enough when
you can protect other as well.
Some vital tasks
may be need carried out to prepare a lawn or garden. We need to trim or prune
all the trees and tall plants in the lawn. The taller, bigger, heavier, and lasher
plants or tree will cause more damage than the lesser if they collapse in
colliding with the storm. In addition, if there are branches that hang over our
roof or the neighbour’s then cut or remove them immediately. Do not forget to
check your lawn and remove all dead and rotting branches.
For smaller plant
that are located around the yard, tie them securely on the ground with strong
and durable ropes and stakes to prevent them get uprooted. We can also secure
potted plants properly. The big can be secure by tied them in line with strong
rope and the small potted plants can be secure by putting it inside the house
or garage. As the home contracting and expert said that the flowerbeds and even
turf can be covered with some thick
blankets or landscape clothes to protect them from strong wind, rain, and
snowstorm sufficiently.
That is for plants.
If there are some outdoor ‘can be picked’ furniture, then it will be recommended
to pick them up and store them inside the garage or any other place that will
not be hit by the wind. Well, the flying chair in storm will definitely cause
damage for the property and get them destroyed.
Owning a property
is not only a case of buy and sell but also the readiness to maintain.
Therefore, our property will last the cosiness for long and not destroy other
properties nearby.
