A check list for getting your house ready for Fall!

By Ken Hoyt

I recently visited Helen Raptis and Dave Anderson on AMNW on KATU to talk about getting some fall chores completed. Follow this link to see the video. Below you'll find the list we talked about with links to recipes.
Start Outside

    * Wash down the windows from the outside
    * Wash down or sweep the outside walls and decks as needed.
    * Finish any maintenance that’s weather related (like painting raw wood)
    * Check the gutters

Head indoors

    * Call the HVAC folks to check your furnace
    * Get the chimney cleaned and inspected
    * Check the seals and weather stripping around doors and windows

Preserve and protect

    * Ken’s Furniture Vinaigrette
    * Clean upholstery and carpets
    * Shield your leather furniture

Holiday gatherings ahead!

    * Do paint touchups around the house
    * Clean light fixtures and chandeliers
    * Turn your mattresses and hang pillows and comforters outside on the next sunny day
