Letter from the President

Dear Readers,

Summer is the perfect time to plan that big family vacation, but that doesn’t mean it’s time to take a hiatus from house maintenance.

Just when people have a little more freedom in their busy lives, they also find a laundry list of home improvement issues calling out for attention. But you can relax, because in this issue of My Home Life we will help you address some of those headaches to make the upkeep of your house as easy as a summer breeze.

From large tasks like trying to survive the disruptions of a remodeling project to pesky nuisances like putting an end to that running toilet, our experts have the answers. You’ll also find helpful information on the benefits of having a generator (before hurricane season peaks), identifying ants in your home, and fighting those rising cooling costs—even in a heat wave. And if you’re trading your current address for a new one this summer, be sure to review our handy checklist for a family on the move.

Whether you’re fixing up your current house or moving to your next one, there’s something in this magazine for you to enjoy. And we think you’ll find the information fitting for the season—sizzling hot.

With warm regards,


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