Protect your home during winter break If you're planning a get- away during March break, you're probably concen- trating solely on your trip, planning what to take and what to leave behind. But before you cram that last bottle of suntan lotion into your suitcase, take a mo- ment to think about all the other preparations you should be making -- the ones that will keep your home sound and secure. Don't let your vacation be ruined by nagging doubts such as: "Did I remember to turn down the ther- mostat?" Or "Did I cancel delivery of the newspaper?' A little foresight and organization ahead of time can give you complete peace of mind and keep your house safe and problem-free until your return. To make sure you take care of all these details, start by making a detailed checklist of everything you must do before departing - don't entrust it all to memory, or you're liable to forget something. Keep a separate list of household- related tasks.

Thawing ice and snow around the house can sometimes result in flooding of the basement and water damage is one of the last things you want to come home to. You may also want to leave a list of appliance or maintenance repair people behind whom your neighbour or house sitter can contact in case of an emergency. You should also leave phone numbers where you can be contacted if a major problem arises. If you don't have a neighbour or friend who is able to check on your house, you may want to consider hiring a bonded, profes- sional house sitter to either stay in your house or make periodic checks while you're away. This also helps to create the illusion that so- meone is at home. To find out who to call, check the yellow pages of your telephone book. Ask about the full range of services they provide. You may want them to water your plants or even take care of your pets. Turn to Page 2
