It is also a good time to think about winterizing your outdoor equipment as well.  Not only will it preserve your tools, but it will increase your home’s safety when you get a handle on the flammable liquids in your garage.

Finally, it is worth your time to inspect any areas in your home that are easily accessible to small furry four legged creatures.  They are looking for a warm place to live for the winter and it’s time well spent to prevent them from coming in your home than trying to kick them out after they’ve moved in to your home.
