Smelly Septic

If you have an RV or a trailer you know that the bathroom can occasionally get smelly.

To help alleviate some of the odor, occasionally flush a cup of baking soda.

This is safe for most septic systems and it will help to control some of the odors.

Holding Mail

Going on a trip soon? There are so many things to do before you leave you loose track. If you have to make a list. But the one thing that you can't forget to do is to hold the mail and newspaper, even if you are going to be gone for just a few days.

Some newspapers have an online option to either hold your newspapers until you get home, donate them to a school, or receive a credit for the papers that you will not be needing.

The postmaster has made it easier for you to make arrangements now by going online to www.usps.gov. Just follow the links to have your mail held until you are expected back home.

If you find that you travel a lot, consider getting a Post Office Box. Then you don't have to worry about it.
