summer | Realty Ideas Per Day

Hey, everyone. It’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty, and your realty idea of the day is shrubs and trees. So, it’s going into the colder season, and I know in Texas, this is the time that people really prune back their Crape Myrtles almost too much, and they consider pruning back the trees. I would talk to an arborist in your area since there are so many zones in the country, you know, cold, warm zones… I don’t know planting that well, but I would talk to an arborist, and I’d go online to find some ideas for what you need to be doing to your trees and your shrubs so that they survive the winter.

Now I know in some parts of the country, you have to wrap them in burlap and try to shelter certain plants during the cold season. Now is the time to be prepared for that, as opposed to, “Oh my God, we’re having a cold snap tomorrow. We’re not ready.” It’s also time to cover your faucets if you’re in the colder areas. Get your faucet covers ready because when we have that first cold snap, you don’t want to be running out there pulling the hoses off. So, shrubs and trees, and faucets. Anyway, Bob McCranie, Texas Pride Realty. There will be another realty idea of the day posted tomorrow. Bye-bye.

Hey, everybody. It’s Bob McCranie, with Texas Pride Realty. And your realty idea of the day is how to beat the heat. So, let’s talk about the temperatures in your area. Now, in Dallas- Fort Worth, we’re already reaching the hundreds. And we got there early this year, so it’s going to be a long, hot summer. Let’s talk about places that people can go if their air conditioner goes out. Let’s urge them to get to a mall, let’s urge them to get a public safety place, whether it’s a library or a city-run facility.

Check on your neighbors, be sure that they have air conditioning, especially the elderly who may or may not be able to afford to have the air conditioner updated or replaced. Let’s go check on our friends and our neighbors and be sure that we’re being good stewards and good friends and neighbors to everybody. The heat can be deadly. Obviously, you want to talk about, God forbid, leaving kids in cars. Let’s talk about the heat and what it can do to people. It can also be somebody who’s out mowing the yard at 3.00 in the afternoon on a 110-degree day, which is just crazy, nobody needs to be out in that. So, Bob McCranie, Texas Pride Realty. Let’s beat the heat together. Take care. Bye-bye.
