Are you starting to feel the crispness of fall in the air? No matter how much we deny it, or how long we stubbornly don shorts and sandals, summer is coming to a close... But it’s not over quite yet...

In the article “There’s Still Some Summer Left for Maintenance and Repair” we outline 3 tasks you still have time to check off your summertime to-do-list:

• Leaky Roof Repair
• Get the Gunk out of your Gutters
• Pressure Wash your Decks

Autumn Ought Tos

What should be a part of your Fall Home Check List? It’s predominantly taking important precautions before sub zero temperatures come into effect. We at casaGURU created a small list to help get you started...

Lawn and Garden:

• Make sure your lawn is primed and in good enough shape to survive the winter.
• Trim flowers and buds in your garden and plant the bulbs you want to have ready to bloom in the spring.

Cottage Living:

• If your cottage or cabin isn’t winterized make sure to close it up nice and tight to avoid finding scary disasters when you reopen in the spring.
• If you’re not closing it, be sure to wrap and insulate waterlines to prevent them from freezing.

Home Improvement:

• Clean your eavestroughs and gutters so leaves, guck and gunk don’t freeze in there in the winter.
• Weather-strip and caulk windows and doors.

Decor and Design:

• Fall colours are rich earthy tones, find ways to inject some of these colours into your home. Perhaps with throws, which double up as a fun functional accessory to cuddle under?
• Deep purples and plums are back again this season. These would make great colours for rich duvet covers for your bedroom.
