Don't Be S.A.D. this winter

So far we have had a gorgeous autumn season here in the Cowichan Valley! The 2013 Home Expo was a huge success. Window Viper gave away a free gutter cleaning and offered 25% off of our eco friendly window cleaning to all. I look forward to doing something similar in the spring of 2014. Congratulations to Carolyn Wolter for winning the free gutter cleaning!

With fall almost halfway gone and the nights getting longer, we all begin to feel the doldrums of winter setting in. The leaves are piling up in our yards and roofs and it's hard to get motivated. Did you know that Seasonal Affect Disorder (S.A.D.) impacts close to ten percent of north americans? Particularly the elderly.. But there are proven ways to fight the winter depression with mood lights that emit full spectrum light waves and taking vitamin D supplements. It has also been proven by researchers that keeping your windows clean in the winter can also improve the amount of natural light in your home by 5%. Every little bit counts!

As I look out my office window I see that the busy gutter cleaning season is very close indeed, and I will be spending a lot of hours in my rain gear over the next several weeks collecting the fallen leaves that are clogging up the gutter outlets. This is the time to hunker down and work the remainder of the year into 2014. If you haven't already done so, you should call and book your gutter cleaning as early as possible and avoid the rush of last minute calls, and inevitably - the wait list.
