I need to get around to finishing all my chores for the autumn season.
I like to stick to doing a lot of work around the house on a seasonal rotation.
A lot of the work I do in the Autumn is raking leaves outside. So many leaves fall for my oak and maple trees that it seems like I never stop having to rake them through September, October, and November. Although by the time we get to November the leaves are usually done falling from the trees. At that point the trees are completely barren and look decayed and decrepit. But raking leaves is not the only thing I have to do in the autumn season. I also have to get things ready for the winter. I have to chop lots of wood for the fireplace and also make sure all the weather stripping is replaced and doors and windows. One of the easiest ways to waste money on heating in the winter is by letting in cold drafts. You need to prevent any cold air from getting in and escaping when you’re running your furnace. Even if you’re using a fireplace you don’t want to go through your wood faster than necessary. That’s why it’s so essential to have proper weather stripping every winter season. It’s part of my chore list when I get ready for the winter during October and November. I also make sure to get good quality weather stripping as well. I don’t want it to fail and lack an airtight seal. You don’t want to waste your time with low quality weather stripping material.
