I Don't want to make that mistake again!

Wow! 102 degrees not only feels uncomfortable but can actually be dangerous. Here is the weather advisory from the weather channel.

"PERSONS INVOLVED IN VIGOROUS OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES ARE URGED TO TAKE FREQUENT BREAKS AND DRINK PLENTY OF WATER. WEAR LOOSE FITTING AND LIGHT COLORED CLOTHING. BE SURE TO CHECK ON PERSONS WITH HEALTH PROBLEMS AND THE ELDERLY... AS THEY ARE THE MOST SUSCEPTIBLE TO HEAT EXHAUSTION AND HEAT STROKE. NEVER LEAVE PEOPLE OR PETS IN AN ENCLOSED VEHICLE...EVEN FOR A SHORT TIME...AS TEMPERATURES CAN QUICKLY RISE TO LIFE THREATENING LEVELS."

DRINK PLENTY OF WATER! I can't make that statement enough. It's no fun getting heat exhaustion - I made that mistake once. I don't want to end up packed in ice again because I didn't drink enough water on a 100 degree + day. Most of us know that it gets very hot here in Texas, but for the first half of the summer, we had clouds and rain. Now, welcome to our real Texas summer, heat advisories and all.

If you are selling a home that is vacant, remember to keep your air conditioner on. Potential home buyers need to be concentrating on looking at your home, not on the heat in the house. You might even consider leaving bottled water on ice or in the frig(if it's there) for potential buyers. Be sure to leave a note letting them know it's for them. Let them comfortably cool off, rehydrate, and spend time imagining themselves in the comfort of the house you have for sale

If you're the one looking for a home in these high temperatures, drink plenty of water before, during and after viewing homes. Children and elderly parents are best left at home. Though they may want to go with you, explain that once you narrow your search, they can go back for the second showing. Getting in and out of cars even without the heat can be exhausting. If they want to get an idea of what you are loooking at, show them on our MLS search engine at FreeCustomHomeSearch.Net. Type in the MLS number and they can view available pictures, virtual tours and see descriptions.
Once again, remember to dress in light, loose fitting clothing and DRINK PLENTY OF WATER!
