It is that time of year again. Make sure you are ready for the cold weather when it comes.
What You Need To Get Done Outside Your House:
* Remove the leaves from your gutters
* Unhook hoses and store them inside
* Trim trees & shrubs that touch your house
* Put up your storm windows.
* Stock up on sand & salt for the ice that might be coming with winter
* Pull out annuals once they have died back
* Have your chimney inspected each year and have it cleaned if it needs it
* What about your lawn mower? Don't forget to get your mower tuned up so it will be ready in the spring. Make sure to go through your lawn mower servicing check list. If you mower is not up to par check out the new Kubota lawn mower line up.
What You Need To Do Get Done Inside Your House:
* Change air filters
* Check all doors & windows for drafts. Apply weather stripping, caulking or putty where the heat might sneak out
* Test all smoke detectors & replace the batteries if needed
* Check your insulation & add more if you need to. The attic floor is one of the most important spots since heat rises
* Protect your plumbing pipes
