In the summer I like to work outside. I like to make sure my house is in tip top shape. When I work around my house I like to maintain my flower beds. I also like to make sure my grass is cut and my shrubs are trimmed. Every summer our neighborhood has a contest for the best lawn. Last year I was runner up. This year my goal is to claim the title of having the best lawn. I’m not sure why I wouldn’t win. My house has many different colors and varieties of plants and flowers that are not found in my neighbor’s lawns. When I mow my lawn every week, I’ve realized that grass clippings get stuck to my outdoor condensing unit. The first few times that I saw the grass in the unit I didn’t think much of it. I thought that the rain and the wind would eventually remove it. However I was wrong because recently I looked at the unit and saw how clogged up it was. I figured that I needed to take some sort of action to clean it. What I was told to do is to turn off the electrical power to the condenser unit off at the outdoor shut off. Then I’ll take my shop-vac and vacuum away the debris. Due to the excessive amount of debris, sometimes the fins get a little bent. So I will straighten the fins by gently using a dinner knife. Next I’ll remove the fan by unscrewing the top grille, then grab a hose and spray the fins with moderate water pressure.
