Thank you to the International Door Association for sponsoring this post. All thoughts are my own.
Now that spring is in full swing, we’ve been busy working on yard and home maintenance. My husband and I were just discussing last night just how long we’ve been in our house. We can’t believe it has been just under 12 years. It is becoming apparent that a lot of the maintenance we did early on needs to be done again. Our house definitely needs a good painting and our landscaping is leaving much to be desired. Maintaining a home is a lot of work, especially when it is an older home like ours. We’ve haven’t been very organized when it comes to keeping track of it all. I’d love to create a checklist and have reminders of maintenance. If you are like us, then you’ll appreciate services like the newest program program from the International Door Association (IDA) – a worldwide trade association of door and access systems professionals.
