Congratulations!!
Congratulations to the most recent winners of our giveaways. Adam and Sara Emond were the lucky winners of this year's draw for accommodations at a luxury resort in Florida. Sara and Adam are checking their schedules for dates and a Florida destination! We will be sure to check in with them on their return.
Tickets for the 'Sex and the Second City' show, held at the Empire Theatre, were also drawn on the 15th and it was Lorraine McGee's name that was pulled from the hat. As always, the entertainment at the Empire is second to none in this area and the audience was treated to a fun evening of laughs!
Keep tuned for the announcement of more giveaways and events that will be sponsored by Team David Weir. All notices are placed on our website at www.davidweir.com or in our newsletters.
Cheers for now!

Warmth & Ice Dams ... An Expensive Combination
Question: When is a toasty warm house in the winter not good?
Answer: When your attic becomes too warm, causing ice dams and potentially mould, reduced insulation effectiveness, a leaky roof, and even worse.
Ice dams are walls of ice that form at the edge of a roof, usually near the gutter or soffit. Water then backs up behind the ice dam and creates pools of water which can leak into your home and cause damage to your ceilings, roof sheathing and shingles, and may also ruin your insulation.
The easiest way to prevent ice dams is to keep your gutters clean and to ensure your attic is properly vented to keep the temperature down. Surprisingly, a cooler attic is better for your home and for your health; warm air that condenses in your attic can cause mould. A general rule of thumb is to keep your attic no warmer than 15 degrees Fahrenheit higher than the exterior air temperature.
Stay warm this winter, but keep your attic cool. It might save you a lot money and aggravation.
