Fall Home Maintenance

As the weather turns cooler it's a good time to find ways to prepare your home for Winter and perform some basic maintenance items that will keep your warm and secure.



1. Seal and Caulk. Look for openings around the base of your home's exterior, windows, or around doors.

2. Have your heating system checked by a professional HVAC company. Change your air filters on a regular schedule.

3. Reverse your ceiling fan so that it pulls warm air down from the ceiling and distributes the heat through your home.

4. Clean, cover and store outside furniture, grills and play equipment.

5.  Walk your home to make sure that no furniture or objects are blocking the heat vents.

Keep your home happy and healthy this Winter!

No Carve Pumpkin Ideas

Pumpkins are a familiar staple this time of year and now that we're in October, many of those pumpkins will turn into Jack-O-Lanterns.

But what if you're not into the brandishing of knives and pulling out of sticky seeds?  Don't worry! There are new trendy options available in Pumpkin decor that don't involve any carving.

Here are a few of our favorite examples:

Patterned tape


Spooky Spiderwebs


Fancy Lace


Thumbtacks

The Lowcountry Life

Lowcountry Residential Builders is your connection to living the Lowcountry lifestyle.  We offer affordable homes built to complement our already beautiful landscape of marsh, sea and sand.

The Charleston area truly is unique - and for those of you just moving to the area, here's a recipe you may want to become familiar with - courtesy of Lowcountry resident and author - Pat Conroy.

INGREDIENTS
1/4 cup Old Bay seasoning
4 lbs small red potatoes, unpeeled
2 lbs turkey kielbasa sausage
6 ears fresh corn, cut in thirds
4-5 whole onions, peeled
4 lbs large fresh shrimp, unpeeled
Cocktail sauce and lemon wedges

DIRECTION
Fill large shrimp pot halfway with water and Old Bay. Bring to a boil. Add potatoes, return to boil for 10 minutes. Add kielbasa, corn and onion, return to boil until potatoes are tender. Add shrimp and cook 3 minutes until shrimp is pink. Drain liquid and serve from a large platter, with cocktail sauce and lemon.
