Autumn is here - my favorite season! With the change in color and weather property owners and tenants have some basic things to do to get ready for Winter.
1. Clean gutters and downspouts so when the rain comes they actually work
2. Make sure outdoor lights work - it is getting darker earlier
3. Make sure there are no hazards in the walk ways such as the cement rising - grind down or patch
4. Good time of year to have the chimney cleaned
5. Install new batteries in all smoke detectors
6. Turn on the heater to make sure it works. Put in a new filter if needed.
7. Bake some cookies so you can test your oven - no one will rescue your turkey on Turkey Day.
8. Caulk around windows and add weather stripping where necessary
9. If you have a sump pump now is the time to check it
10. Enjoy the Season
