Anyone Replacing their Patio/Balcony Slider Door?

If anyone is thinking of replacing their slider door, a homeowner has already done the ‘leg work’ on finding a good acceptable replacement. The door that matches is an Anderson 200 Series Narrowline Gliding Patio Door. The door is available at Home Depot or TNT Services Group. Both companies are in the Frederick area. Call management if you have any questions. Thank you.

Tick Tips for the Summer Season

Avoiding Ticks:
1. Wear light-colored clothing so that ticks can be easily spotted.
2. Wear clothing that is made of tightly woven material with a slick surface that way ticks won’t cling.
3. Tuck the legs of pants into socks. Tuck shirts into pants and button cuffs.
4. Avoid brushing up against plants located along trails.
5. Apply insect repellent, according to manufacturer’s directions, under clothing where ticks crawl.
6. Avoid petting wild animals.
7. Check your body frequently for ticks if walking through wooded areas and do a thorough search upon arriving home.

How to Remove Ticks:
1. Tick bites should be attended to promptly. Grasp the tick with a pair of tweezers, getting as close to the skin as possible.
2. Firmly pull the tick straight out. Don’t twist or jerk it.
3. If the mouthparts of the tick break off, consult your physician.
4. Never kill the tick while it is still attached to your skin.
5. After removing the tick, save it so that your physician can identify it.
6. Wash your hands with soap and water and apply antiseptic to the site of the tick bite.
7. If the rash or other symptoms occur, contact your physician immediately.
