Senior Preparations for the Autumn Months

September is almost here and with it the beginning of fall. While summer offers us all a chance to head outside, enjoying the sunshine and outdoor activities like gardening and walks around the neighborhood, fall symbolizes the beginning of indoor weather in many areas. Cooler temperatures and cold weather conditions can change your daily routine, so it is important to consider these details now.

First, consider the falling leaves. While yard work is a great way to stay in shape, depending on your health and the size of your yard, raking leaves may no longer be a project you can undertake alone. If this is the case, start your research now. Consider hiring a company that provides all weather services – mowing, raking, snow blowing – for the upcoming season. These services will be a great help throughout the upcoming months and can keep your lawn clean and save you from an icy fall in the months to come. Find your rakes and turn on the snow blower to make sure everything is working properly for the weather to come.

After you have handled your outdoor matters, look to the inside of your house. Air conditioner units may have to be removed from windows and storm windows and doors may have to be reinstalled. Get started on these projects in early September to avoid a drafty house and a spike in the heat bill when that first chilly autumn day hits.
