Autumn is a wonderful season. It’s my favorite season, but as nature slows down for a nap and the harvest comes in, I am reminded of what is soon to come. So before I hunker down, here are the eight things I need to get done before it arrives:
1. Clean the gutters after all the leaves have fallen
2. Caulk windows and door frames to keep heat from escaping
3. Inspect the roof and make sure there aren’t any missing or loose shingles
4. Get your heating system checked and your fireplace in working order
5. Clean and cover air conditioner
6. Clean, cover and store deck / patio equipment, tables, chairs and grill
7. Prepare yard equipment for storage: lawn mower, trimmer, leaf blower, etc
8. Make sure all snow removal equipment is ready to use for the first snow
Any other to-do’s on your list? Please share it, so we’re all set for winter.
