Fall To-Do List around the home

I was standing at the kitchen sink this morning, drinking my first cup of coffee and watching the spiders that had built a very messy web between the window glass and screen and thought, "well darn, it's fall, guess I need to wash windows". What would you add to this fall to-do list.



Exterior:

wash windows

put away screens (late fall/more winterish)

check caulk around windows

put foam core covers over crawl space vents

scrub porches (really need stained but that can wait till spring)

move houseplants back inside

pick up fallen sticks and add to fireplace stack (have some fall evening outdoor fires)

turn compost

mow once more and service lawnmower

turn and cover the raised beds (add compost)

clean and put away garden tools



Studio:

sweep and dust

replace burnt out bulbs

check roof (may be time to replace shingles)

figure out window covers for barn roof screened windows (now that it's not a hot shop...it's not hot)

purge and organize my work space

clean, organize, photograph tools/materials to sell



Interior:

clean windows

wash filters

put away portable ac (upstairs)

check attic storage area screens (empty and clean, see if needs additional insulation or repairs)

wipe down walls

wipe down crown molding and baseboards

paint hall bath/replace hardware and baseboards/molding (bonus - new door)

get hall/living room carpets cleaned (move once more the idea of replacing carpets w/wood to next year)

clean upstairs carpets (move once more the idea of replacing carpets w/wood to next year)

replace hallway light with fixture with more light

repaint hallway

clean out under stairs storage (winter items)

clean out hallway closet

wash all light fixtures and check electrical

get a electrical audit by electric company

check with landline/internet phone service to reduce fees

move fridge and stove and clean

purge/clean out and paint interior of lower kitchen cabinets (too dark)





What kind of things are on your fall to-do list?
