Toolbelt Tuesday: Flash-Freeze Test Kit

Freeze/thaw creates thin, hard-to-see ice. My kit:
- Flashlight “shine test”
- Calcium chloride melt
- Traction grit
- Downspout extender

Reply TOOLBELT for my refreeze-zones checklist.

Toolbelt Tuesday 🧰

Today’s tool: a handheld infrared thermometer.
On a chilly day, walk around and check temps near:

• Window/door frames
• Exterior-wall outlets
• Baseboards and attic hatch

If a spot is several degrees colder than the area around it, you’ve probably found a draft or insulation gap. Seal it, insulate it, and your future self (and heating bill) will thank you.

🛠️ Toolbelt Tuesday: Mark it before it’s buried ❄️

Before the next big snow, use reflective stakes to mark:

Driveway edges

Mailbox & walkways

Outdoor units (AC/heat pump, gas meter, etc.)

Once everything is covered, those markers help prevent damage from shovels and plows and can save you from expensive repair surprises in the spring.

🧰 Toolbelt Tuesday: Winter CO Safety

Quick checklist:
• Test all carbon monoxide detectors
• Make sure there’s one on every level + near bedrooms
• Replace old batteries and expired units (most last ~7–10 years)
• Keep 3 ft of space around furnaces and space heaters

Small task, big protection during CNY heating season.
