Overall, my house is safe to live based on this assessment. I just moved into this house few months ago and this is my first time to live house. I always lived in the apartment before. It is more difficult to take care the house than the apartment based on my experience. Since there is a usually manager for the apartment. Therefore, I feel more responsibility to make my house environment being safe. Also, this assessment reminds me to test for water or lead etc regularly. In terms of foods, I try to use organic products. Every Sunday, the farmer's market opens near by my place. I like to buy foods in particular, vegetables or fruits since they are local. Good thing is that no one smoke in my house, so I don't get exposed by smoking. The one thing I want to improve is that I need to find out the way to kill the insects instead of using Raid spray. My partner freaks out with insects and use the spray a lot, which is harmful for us.
