I think we've pretty much milked as much of the warm weather out of our glorious summer as we possibly can, Fall is upon us! Along with raking up the fallen leaves, and storing away the garden tools, there are plenty of things we need to ready ourselves, and our homes for the coming winter. I recently had my snow tires installed on my car, so that's covered!
Service Weather-Specific Equipment,drain gas from lawnmowers, service or tune-up snow blowers, replace worn rakes and snow shovels. Clean, dry and store summer gardening equipment. Buy bags of ice melt/sand! Make sure the gutters on your house are free of leaves and debris. Fish all the leaves and twigs out of there and run a hose through the gutters and downspout to make sure everything is flushed out. Check on all your windows and doors, make sure all caulking and weatherstripping is still in good shape. You'd be amazed at how much proper insulation and weather proofing can affect your heating bill!
Don't forget, when you're done cleaning out the gutters, put the hose away and turn off the exterior water outlet!!
