    October is Repair and Refresh the House Month

    ByMary Crozier October 3, 2022October 3, 2022

    October is the month I designate to assess the condition of the house and make a long list of things to do. I cannot take credit for this idea. Years ago, a neighbor with a busy family lived in one of the most beautiful homes on the street. Yet when you went inside, you didn’t…
