Letter from the President

Dear Readers,

Consider this issue of My Home Life a chance to do something dramatic. Just like the fall season that is upon us, change is in the air and could also be in your house. With the turning color of the leaves, you could be turning over a new leaf for home improvements, maintenance, and repairs.

This issue tackles some vibrant changes popular for the season. And it just might trigger some handy ideas you can tackle in your own home. Hot design advice is in full swing from DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen for kitchen remodeling projects just in time for holiday entertaining. And our experts at Aire Serv address heat, literally, with some tips on checking ductwork before winter arrives. As for some really bright ideas, just follow Mr. Electric’s advice when it comes to holiday lighting that won’t strain your electrical system. And Mr. Rooter plans to get you thinking about those various noises in your pipes this time of year. Whether it’s a rattle from the water heater, a gurgle in your drain, or a thump in your walls, there’s a reason behind all of those sounds.

Adding to the lineup, we have the latest news on must-have gadgets for entertaining, what to know when planting tulips, and a recipe for delicious chocolate chip pumpkin bread. We cover a lot of territory in this issue. So fall back into a chair, turn the pages, and enjoy. Soon you may be turning a new page with the state of your home as well.

With warm regards,


Dina Dwyer-Owens
President and CEO of The Dwyer Group®
