It's Father's Day weekend – a time for all of us to honor Dad and let him know that he's the best. Gil and I extend best wishes to all of our friend, family, and client dads. Instead of making that last-minute dash to the local cram-packed mall, fighting fellow shoppers for the last “perfect” tie, relax and base your gift on the best advice from almost every dad we know: Actions speak louder than words.
Think about it; we did, and we got some terrific ideas from HouseLogic on what to give Dad in place of yet another “World's Greatest” mug. If you base your musings on the thought of spending time – not money – to show your appreciation for your dad, you may be surprised at what you come up with. Here are some ideas to get you started:
-
Hose off and hang up the hammock that’s sitting in the basement.
-
Dig up that weed tree that’s popped up between the hydrangeas.
-
Clean gutters clogged with tree blossoms and other spring debris.
-
Power wash and reseal the deck.
-
Shine up Dad's private kitchen – the grill. A little baking soda will help get rid of burned-on crud.
-
Clean out the garage (or just sweep it).
-
Lay sod on lawn bare spots.
-
Spackle, sand, and paint dents and holes in the walls.
-
Frame and hang a picture of the grandchildren.
