Storm season is here and power outages should be expected in many parts of the country. Lucky for me I live in Aiken, and my power rarely goes out! Let me know when you are ready to move here :)
THINGS TO KEEP ON HAND FOR POWER OUTAGES:
a cooler (or more if you have room to store them)
ice - keep as much on hand as you can store.
WHAT TO DO:
Keep your freezer FULL - it will keep the temp longer than a 1/2 full freezer (with the door kept closed)
Keep fridge and freezer doors CLOSED!!
Use up the perishable stuff first --- then go to non-perishable items.
Give us a call for your Aiken SC real estate needs :)
Happy Summer!
Hi Kara-Great tips and we are lucky cause the power doesn't go out too often here either. Guess we live in the right place. Hope you have doing well. :-)
Kara....good stuff. I would hope that you might consider candles. The times that the power goes out can be a blessing in disguise.
This is really valuable stuff this summer up here Kara. We have had sooo many lightning strikes. My phones got zapped and I need to replace them now as they are intermittent.
One thing though. If you have a vacation home it is probably not a good idea to leave a full freezer unless you have a friend to come in and check on the place often. One of my friends at Lake Marion had a very nasty situation when the power went out for several days. EWWEEEE.
great tips guys! thanks :)
