was down in the basement the other day puttering around and doing a bit of spring clean or more like it rearrang ing Our son Kyle came clatter ing down the stairs wearing his baseball cleats and in a total lather He d just found out hed been accepted into a summer baseball camp and absolutely had to have all his equipment at his fingertips that minute I helped him find his stuff and off he went to hit some balls with friends My wife Em has gone to help out our niece for a week or so recently had twins a boy and a girl just like we did years ago and could use some help from an expert like Em With our daughter Belinda at a swim meet I sud denly found myself alone in the house I puttered for a while at my bench before I remembered the Job Jar Em and I rccendy started a Job Jar when we got sick and tired of hearing ourselves say I vc just got to get at that one of these days So we agreed to put all the odd jobs that need doing into a jar and once a week we and the kids take one out and whatever it is we have to do it No putting it back I dipped into it hoping in the back of my mind that I would pull out sharpen knives because I could do that and a Jays game at the same time without feeling guilty Well no such luck I came up with check out room air condi tioners for summer That was okay though It wouldnt take long and I could probably still catch a few innings of the game First things first In the spring and fall you clean the coils the vent and make sure you get all dirt out of the compartment Then clean the frame with a vacuum cleaner At startup time and then each month remove the air filter behind the grill Wash it in water and a bit of detergent rinse it and let it dry completely Replace it if its a disposable I know Im jumping the gun here but in the fall dont forget to store your air conditioners in a dry place after you clean them and block the openings so no dust or dirt gets Hey that wasn so bad at all was Now I lake the little slip of paper stick it on the fridge under my name and then how about those Jays NEW FERNBROOK HOMES Several spacious models to choose from and there Is still time for you fo pick colours you want These all brick homes will be
