I Wish My Parents Taught Me About… Preparing My House for Winter

Winter is coming—and unfortunately, so are the heating bills, frozen pipes, icy walkways, and everything else nobody warned you about.

I Wish My Parents Taught Me About… Preparing My House for Winter is a practical, easy-to-read guide that helps you prepare your home before cold weather creates expensive problems.

Inside this 33-page guide, you’ll learn how to:

• Lower your heating costs without freezing in your own house

• Find and stop common drafts and heat loss

• Protect pipes, outdoor faucets, and plumbing from freezing

• Prepare your furnace, fireplace, thermostat, and air filters

• Prevent carbon monoxide and fire-safety problems

• Get ready for snow, ice, power outages, and winter emergencies

• Protect your pets and your home during extreme cold

• Use a simple winter-home checklist so nothing gets forgotten

You’ll also get practical advice—and a little questionable wisdom—from Mom, Dad, Chad, and Anthony along the way.

Whether you’re a first-time homeowner, renter, young adult, or simply tired of learning winter lessons the expensive way, this guide gives you the information you need without making it feel like homework.

Funny enough to buy. Useful enough to recommend.

Your parents taught you plenty. They just didn’t cover this one.
