One of the hardest parts about owning a home is the upkeep. Unlike living in an apartment, you don’t have a maintenance guy you can just call up when your toilet gets clogged. No, you have to handle all that crap yourself (pun very much intended). And there are tons and tons of maintenance necessities you have to handle. Not that it should discourage you; repairing and maintaining your own home is very rewarding. It can just sometimes seem like a lot to juggle. Well, luckily for us, the lovely folks at Houzz provide a “home to-do checklist” for each month of the year, so you know exactly what needs to be done. Here are a few essentials for June:
-Paint the home exterior while the weather is dry
-Check for cracks in the foundation
-Clean the gutters
-Get the outdoor gear ready
-Lighten up the decor- use lighter fabrics and brighter colors
