The fall is a great time to work on some household projects before the winter.  We compiled a list of some things you might want to consider to put on your fall to-do list. Especially in Minnesota, where the snow comes early in the season, these are some ideas of what to tackle first.

• Clean your gutters before the freezing temperatures move in. Leaves and debris should be removed and allow water to move off surfaces into the gutters without obstruction.
• Check your windows and doors for any gaping or loose seals. You can add a weather strip to prevent drafts or extra insulation.
• Fall is a great time to clean any carpets. You can open the windows and let them dry quickly.
• Power washing can be done as a preparation for the winter ahead. It will remove dirt, dust and can prevent mold.
• While you are raking the leaves, don’t forget to add mulch to your gardens to insulate them through the winter months.
