With gas prices so high, many of us will be staying closer to home this summer. We might as well use some of this time to attack those long-delayed household projects. Not sure of what a summer to-do list contains? Here are a few more common hot weather tasks:
During summer, many homeowners power-wash, seal, refinish or paint exterior walls of their home as well as outdoor structures (decks, outbuildings). Summer is also a good time of year to patch concrete and asphalt, sidewalks, and cement or brick patios. This is also a good time to lubricate (or replace) doors, locks, sliding-glass doors, garage doors, and window casings—especially if humid heat makes them swell. Summer demands extra time spent cutting grass and pruning flowering shrubs and trees. This means sharpening garden tools, lubricating push mowers, and servicing electric or gas-powered motors may become a necessity in order for garden maintenance to take place.
If you're worn out just reading this list, it's time for lemonade and a good book. There's always tomorrow...
