Spring Has Sprung
Welcome back to another issue of Elek Enews, and Happy Spring to everyone. March came in more like a lamb than a lion as we’ve already seen a few days reach 60 degrees! The team here at Elek is certainly not complaining about the early arrival of mild temperatures, but with that lovely spring weather comes the sometimes dreaded spring cleaning. From “To Do” lists to “Honey Do” lists, spring is the season for home repairs and maintenance.
