2. Clean off dirt from your lawn mower and drain any remaining gas or oil.

3. Air can leak into your home, not only through doors and windows but also through vents, outlets and switchplates. Use caulk and spray foam to seal gaps and cracks.

Spruce-Ups:

1. Give your entryway a new look by updating your house number, painting your front door a new color, or switching out the door hardware.

2. Fall is a great time of the year for pruning. Get your plants in shape without hurting next year’s blooms by cutting back excessive growth and dead branches.
