1. Spruce Up Your Front Porch

April has a renewing component to it. We're thawing out from winter and look forward to the warmer weather. 

We're spending more time outdoors. Spruce up your front porch and create an inviting space for yourself and visitors.

Just a few simple tasks make a world of difference. Wipe down your front door, shake out your welcome mat and add some plants or foliage.  If you have the space add a chair or sitting area.

 

2. Clean Your Toaster

Toasters can be a huge fire hazards.  Take a few minutes to clean and inspect your toaster.

You may be surprised at what you find in your toaster.  Head over and pull out your toaster’s crumb tray.

 

3. Check For Yard Low Spots

After a spring rain check your yard for low spots.  Low spots can become a breeding ground for lawn fungus, can kill your grass and attract mosquitos.

 

4. Test Your Smoke Alarms & CO2 Detectors

Check your smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors.  Be sure to wear ear protectors when checking your smoke detector. 

 

5. Boost Curb Appeal

Simple projects such as updating your house numbers, updating your mailbox and cleaning outdoor light fixtures can make a world of difference.
