You’ve completed your summer exterior upgrades, and now you feel a shift in the air. The Fall season is rapidly approaching, and it requires preparation, a secure home, and a cup of apple cider!
It is important to have a secure roof over your head in the Fall due to changes in weather. The cold, windy, crisp air will have you wanting to feel protected in your home with all the right necessities. Follow these tips to use your reverse mortgage payout to prepare for the fall season!
Cover Furniture
The first tip is to cover and protect any outdoor furniture. You can use tarps or even purchase specially made furniture covers for each item. This will help protect the furniture from any harsh weather conditions, and extend the lifetime of your patio furniture for many years!
Clean Your Gutters
You’ll also need to fully clean out your gutters to save from any water damage that may occur. You want to do this at least once a year before Autumn, because a neglected gutter is a nightmare. If this is not done, it will result in a clogged gutter with leaves, sticks, and other debris, which can lead to water damages for your home.
Fireplace Preparation
If your home has a fireplace, now is the time to stock up on firewood, prepare your fireplace, and clean out your chimney to enjoy with your friends and family for the fall and winter months. This will make it easier when the time comes to use your fireplace because it will be ready to enjoy! If these three maintenance are not done, it will result in soot and damage to the chimney or fireplace. It is important to keep up on the cleaning and maintenance, and you can even call a local professional chimney sweep to get the job done right!
Clean Up Your Yard
Make sure there are no loose tree branches on the ground or dead tree limbs on your trees. This will help eliminate any danger of wind, snow, or rain interfering with the tree branches and causing an accident. The more clean, sturdy, and simple your backyard is, the more it will prevent accidents or damage in the fall and winter.
Prepare Summer Lawn Equipment
The last tip is to prepare your summer lawn equipment by emptying out any debris because for the fall and winter months it will not be used. This also helps to get ready for the spring when you are ready to pull them back out again!
