[Video description: The video opens with an older white woman standing on a ladder, and an older white man holding the latter. Text over it says "Did your mom ever tell you?!" The woman says "Hi everybody, it's Babs!", and the man says "And Mr. Babs holding the ladder!" The camera zooms up and in to Babs as she says "Did your mom or dad ever tell you 'you either prepare now or pay later?' You know how to winterize your home? We're here to help." It cuts to Babs still on the ladder, holding a pile of dead leaves in a large spoon, as she says "One, after all the leaves have fallen, clean your gutters. This will prevent water damage to the interior or exterior of your home. And if your gutters are easy to reach and you can do it yourself, just use a spaghetti spoon! It'll collect the leaves and drain the water." It cuts again to Babs outside her house, pointing at the hose attached to the side of the house. She says "Tip number 2: make sure you shut off the main water source to the outside. Once you do that, remove the hose--righty tighty lefty loosey--and then drain any remaining water." She removes the hose and holds her hand under the spigot as she says this, and then it cuts to her standing up with the hose wrapped over her arm as she says "This will prevent a burst pipe and a huge plumbing bill. Hoses inside." It cuts again to Babs standing inside the house holding a large, gray, fuzzy furnace filter as she says "Tip number 3: time to clean or replace those furnace filters. This will prevent super high energy bills. A clean filter will save you 15% on energy cost. Ours definitely needs to be replaced!" It then cuts again to her holding a white, clean furnace filter and saying "This is what the new filter looks like!", and then her sliding it into the furnace as she says "And in she goes, all set for the winter." Finally, it cuts to her standing on a chair and pointing at a smoke detector on the ceiling as she says "And the last tip: Good time to check the batteries on your smoke detector and carbon monoxide detectors."
