The New Wacky Wednesday

I am changing Wednesdays. I think Wednesdays will be for "extra" topics. Like maintenance, paperwork, etc.

It will be a melting pot of information. If you want to learn about something, just let me know and I will see what I can do to find the answers.

For the first Wacky Wednesday, I think we will discuss maintenance.

I want to believe that the majority of our residents really want to help us anyway they can, I just don't think they know how.

Most residents don't know that there are some very basic things they can do on their own or that they can do to keep an emergency from being a MAJOR emergency.

Things like turning the valve off behind the toilet if the toilet is overflowing to keep the mess from being worse.

How to reset the garbage disposal if it won't spin. Or flipping a breaker back on if it flips off because of a power surge.

Simple things that a resident can do (that isn't dangerous) that will not only help them, but will help us also.
