In San Diego summer comes after a little “May Gray” & “June Gloom” but once it hits, it’s easy to take a relaxed approach to everything—even home maintenance. So start tackling your summer home maintenance today! This checklist makes it simple.
Summer Home Maintenance Checklist
• Inspect your house exterior for loose or rotted siding. Power wash siding or brick. This will help get rid of any dust, dirt, tree sap, bird droppings, etc., that leave your home looking less than its best.
• Repair and repaint any chipped, cracking or faded exterior paint. Besides improving your home’s curb appeal, it will also help protect it from the elements.
• Wash windows inside and out. You’ll be amazed how much more light will stream in and how much clearer your view will be.
• Check brick tuckpointing. Also, inspect foundation for cracks or leaks. Foundation cracks can create an entry point for groundwater, insects and radon gas. Repair as needed.
• Have air conditioner checked and serviced. Regular A/C maintenance can extend the life of your unit and may reduce the need for costly A/C repairs.
• Check windows for leaks. Recaulk seals on doors and windows. This can help increase your home’s energy efficiency.
• Power wash and reseal your deck. This will help prevent any wood from splitting, graying or cracking.
• Clean out gutters and downspouts. Summer storms and high winds can deposit debris in your gutters. Even though this is generally considered a job for spring and fall, summer is also recommended.
• Clean out the faucet traps (the small screen on the end of your faucet) to eliminate clogging mineral deposits and other debris. Simply unscrew the end of the faucet with a pair of pliers, remove the trap, flush out the debris and replace.
• Clean the dryer vent and exhaust duct. Without some maintenance, clogged lint and dust in your dryer vents could cause a house fire.
• Inspect outdoor play equipment. Reinforce, tighten and re-stain, reseal or repaint as needed.
• Inspect fencing. Reinforce, re-stain, reseal or repaint as needed.
• Refill cracks on cement walkway or driveway. Concrete is strong, but it can be easily damaged by standing water and freezing water that seeps in through the cracks.
Summer’s mild weather means it’s also the ideal season to take on projects like these:
•Replacing old windows or front doors
• Replacing your roof
• Replacing a chimney cap
• Refinishing flooring
• Adding skylights
• Building a deck or
Decide which are priorities for you and tackle those first, then divvy up the responsibilities or hire professionals to make the best use of your time.

The Free Summer Shuttle along Orange Avenue had a wonderful kickoff event yesterday at Spreckels Park!
Now through Labor Day, Sept. 6th residents and visitors can ride specially marked buses back and forth along Orange Ave. from the Coronado Shores and City Hall to the FerryLanding and Marriott Resort.
The shuttle runs in 15-minute intervals so it’s super easy to catch.

| AIN’T NO GLOOM IN MY JUNE! With all restrictions lifted on the 15th in California, June is going to be a huge month to get out and socialize again! It’s time for days on the beach, picnics, get-togethers, and getting the boats on the water. Coronado Promenade Concerts at Spreckels Park is set to return with musical acts from genres of classic rock, soul, yacht rock and country! This year’s summer concert series will start on the first day of summer, June 20th and then be held every Sunday (except the 4th of July) through September 5 with a request submitted and pending approval from the city council to hold one additional show on September 12. The Free Summer Shuttle along Orange Avenue will kickoff Sunday, June 6th at 1pm with an event at Spreckels Park attended by City leaders, supporters and sponsors of the program. Beginning June 6, residents and guests will be able to ride buses along the Metropolitan Transit System’s 904 Route from the Coronado Shores and City Hall to the Coronado Ferry Landing and Coronado Island Marriott Resort & Spa. The Free Summer Shuttle will run in 15-minute intervals through Labor Day, Sept. 6, daily from 9 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. and one hour later on Friday and Saturday. A big event I’ll be planning for the end of the month is the opening of a Plein Air Exhibit in the Coronado Spreckels Library Meeting Room. This exhibit will help illustrate that the library is so much more than books and showcase art from the San Diego Plein Air Painters Meeting Group. This will run to September 15th with the grand opening of the exhibit from 2-4pm on Sunday, June 27th with refreshments and a Plein Air demonstration. Stop by and check out the beautiful art and library and then go get your groove on at the Promenade Concerts in the Park! |
With a revamped menu and a minor facelift that includes new bar tops and more, Nicky Rottens in Coronado has finally reopened with its original owner returning!

Love this place for games!

As you may know, I’m a sucker for a good food truck. So I was beyond excited to hear that the Coronado Island Marriott Resort & Spa will be holding a food truck event every Thursday this summer.
They kicked it off last night with Taco Love, Zs Buddies Sushi San Diego Sliders and Attitude Brewery.
A ton of fun with great food and good music!
