Sally The Sly Solar Soldier

By Hedrick Lepsch


The winter is a harsh time of year for everything, including your house. Now, before the real storms of winter hit, is the best time to prepare your home for winter's cold and damaging weather. Preparing your home for winter is an important step involved with homeownership, and all who own homes or other property should take the time to properly ready their home for winter. Failing to fully prepare the home for winter could not only lead to increased costs for wasted utility bills in the endless struggle to heat the home, but also to more and expensive summer time repairs to the home or even costs incurred from mishaps stemming from an unsafe home.

Sally on the other hand was a solar-energy-loving, die-hard Yankee fan, red-headed fire-ball that was clever enough to live amongst her straight-laced neighbors undetected. In fact, she enjoyed living amongst these uptight, yet oddly kind people.

She had installed new solar panel roofing shingles that were saving her hundreds of dollars every month and no one suspected a thing. She decided one day that she was going to try to convert her neighborhood to solar-panels too. She knew she would have to be sly about the whole process. She was likely to lose favor among her neighbors and be glared out of the neighborhood if she was too direct about her approach. So, Sally concocted a plan.

How Solar Panels Work

After making sure the outside of the home is fully prepared for the winter season, a homeowner can turn their attention to the interior of the house. There are several ways to prepare the interior of the home for winter, and all will make the winter more comfortable to live in as well as cost efficient for the homeowner.

The end of the week found Sally's neighbors begging to know her secret. Anything. They would do anything to know what Sally had done to save enough money from her elementary-school pittance to afford such a window. Recognizing the genuine willingness to listen and obey in the eyes of her neighbors, she explained that she had solar shingles.

In addition, the homeowner can take other steps to see that the inside of their home is well insulated. Installing specialized covers for doorframes and windowsills will help to seal in the common leaks to a house that let warm air escape. There are many ways for a family to prepare their home for winter, and none should be overlooked if possible. By preparing the home for the winter in every needful way, the family inside the home will be able to have cost effective, comfortable, and safe winter season.
