If you’re a busy homeowner, chances are you’ve often thought of all the things you could get done if you just had a little more time in the day. If you’re ready to tackle your fall to-do list—but just need to find the time—you’re in luck.
Daylight saving time ends on the first Sunday of November, giving us an additional hour and a little more light in the mornings. Planning ahead is the best way to make the most of this extra 60 minutes. Here are four quick and easy home improvement projects to tackle with your extra hour this November 3.
Power Wash the Deck
Whether you dropped a few pieces of charcoal on the deck during your Labor Day barbecue or that big pine tree left a few sprinklings of sap on the porch, refresh your outdoor space with one last power wash before winter.
Fortunately, if your deck is made of a rot-, splinter-, and insect-resistant material like composite, your boards should last for years to come. When your deck boards are made from high-quality, durable materials, all you need is an extra hour and a power washer to scrub away summer wear and tear.
Reorganize Your Storage
If spring is the time for cleaning, then fall is the time for reorganizing and decluttering. When you set aside an hour to reorganize your garage, toolshed, or storage closets, deep cleaning in the spring can be easier.
One of the best ways to make organizing and decluttering easier is to start with the right storage systems. Browse tool storage and garage storage systems at your local home improvement store to find creative and space-saving ways to reorganize your home. With planning and preparation, you can use your extra hour this November to transform your storage spaces.
Clean the Gutters
Some things are practically synonymous with fall, like pumpkin spice, bright leaves, hay rides, and cleaning the gutters. Keeping your gutters clear of twigs, leaves, and any other debris is one of the best ways to protect the exterior of your home and prepare it for winter weather.
If you regularly clean your gutters, this simple task should take 20 to 30 minutes. So, if you stay on top of your gutter cleaning schedule, you can use your extra hour to take care of this home project and enjoy a little time to spare!
Step Up Your Home’s Safety
The best way to approach home safety is one step at a time. This fall, brainstorm ways to make your home safer, such as installing a new front door lock or upgrading your safe to keep your valuables and firearms secure.
Whether you stop by your local home improvement store to find a gun safe on sale or a new digital lock for your front door, you can make your home a little safer in just an hour.
