(StatePoint) As the weather turns colder and the holidays draw near, many of us are making a home maintenance list and checking it twice.

From weatherizing pipes to tackling simple fixes, T-Rex brand, a leading manufacturer of premium repair tapes, finds that nearly 60% of Americans live in “weekend project mode” or consider their house a full-time job in fall and winter. Despite their efforts, more than half of people say they’ve experienced a home repair disaster right before or during the holidays and they’ve even had to make an urgent repair in the cold wearing pajamas “because it couldn’t wait.”
