Home Maintenance Tip of the Day
By: Amy Bohutinsky, Zillow VP of Communications | November 7, 2008
From the Times Herald in Newnan, GA today comes a story of an unfortunate house fire that can simply be summed up by its last line:
“Gantt advised against using a blow torch to rid a home of cobwebs.”
Thanks for the tip, Gantt. 
(and thank you Perez Hilton for the story. How do you find this stuff??)

If your need is for something a little more serious, I have a web site (www.YourMonthlyToDoList.com) that provides customers with a personalized monthly to do list for the items they own. Subscribers receive a questionnaire with over 400 items. They check the items that apply and we send them their to do list for those items each month. Activities range anywhere from monthly to every 25 years. Besides the things you might expect like your home, yard, and auto, I’ve included health, finances, and more. If you have a chance to look at it I’d appreciate any comments you might have.
