Now that the cooler weather is here, it’s time to start doing those outside chores that nobody wanted to do when it was miserably hot. I’m compiling a list of things I need to do for my house, and I thought I would post what I’m doing here, and see what everyone else was doing. Here’s what I have on my list:
1. Paint and repair the fence. I don’t actually have a fence, but my mom does, and since my dad’s been so sick, I offered to help.
2. Power wash the deck and sides of house, re-stain deck. The good thing about the drought in Tennessee is the fact that I can count on several days in a row to be able to stain my deck and give it ample time to dry.
3. Clean out gutters. I hate doing this, largely because I have some gutters on one side of my house that are up way high, but it must be done. I have one gutter that needs special attention because it seems to be leaking. Ugh.
4. Wash, wax, and detail cars. I like to get my cars all nice and clean before it gets cold, because I never feel like washing the interior windows of my vehicles in 30 degree weather.
That’s all I have on my list for now, but I’m sure I am leaving some things off. What are you doing to get ready for winter?
I don't know why you're cleaning out your gutters by hand like some kind of animal. You should just use a Looj!
