Vacation Checklist for your Home
Are you ready to have your toes in the sand or smell the fresh mountain air as you backpack through the mountains? You work so hard all year with your jobs and with your
families, you need some rest and relaxation. So, whether you vacation in the summer, fall
or you are a snow bird, planning for your trip is a must. We suggest before you leave, you
review this checklist for your home so you will have peace of mind while you are away.
Vacation Checklist
 Turn your thermostat up to 80 degrees for a
summer vacation. This will keep your energy cost
low, but will not damage your plants, food items,
furniture, etc.
 Turn your water heater to the lowest setting,
vacation setting or pilot.
 Shut off your home’s main water valve.
 Check your sump pump to make sure it is in good
working order.
 Let your bank and credit card companies know
your travel plans.
 Unplug small appliances and electronics around
your home to save energy and for safety.
 Set a lamp on a timer so it looks like someone is
home.
 Stop your mail and newspaper.
 Set automatic away reminder on your email.
 If traveling by car, have your auto thoroughly
serviced and the tires checked.
 Leave contact information with family, friends
or neighbors. Include your plumbing and HVAC
service contractor’s name and number in case
of emergency.
Of course, everyone’s list is going to be a little different, so choose what works best for
you and your family. We hope you have a fun summer and wish you safe travels.

Bathroom Remodel
Our customer wanted to add a bathroom to their basement.
We installed 12x12 tile in a straight pattern, that runs from floor
to ceiling with a recessed niche, mosaic featured strip, shower
head hand-held combo, and curved shower rod.
The custom-made, wood-stained vanity features a granite
countertop with Moen Eva 4” spread chrome faucet and singlebowl sink. A vanity light sits above a single-beveled edge mirror.
A 12x12 tile was installed in a straight pattern on the floor.
The commode is a white, comfort-height Mansfield. Check out
the rest of the photos for this bathroom in our web site portfolio click on Dorsey basement.
