Autumn Onset – Chores

Getting your home ready for the winter takes some time, with several small things that can add up quickly. Putting these tasks on your calendar in advance can help you get them done in order, letting you enjoy autumn without paying for it with an emergency chore weekend when winter weather hits. Here are some things to consider:

–  Cleaning chimneys for winter fireplace moments
–  Storing patio furniture once cold weather sets in
–  Draining garden hoses before the first freeze
–  Winterizing windows or your swamp cooler
–  Clearing the gutter of leaves/debris (once the trees have released them)
