October in Michigan means cooler weather, changing leaves… and a few things around the house you’ll be glad you handled before winter shows up. 🍂🏡
A little preventative maintenance now can save you from a much bigger headache in January.
My October homeowner checklist:
✓ Fresh furnace filter
✓ Gutters cleaned
✓ Outdoor hoses disconnected
✓ Smoke + CO detectors tested
✓ HVAC maintenance scheduled
✓ Mudroom ready for boots, coats & everything winter
Save this post and knock out a few this weekend. Your future, freezing-cold self will thank you. 😂
And if I missed something that’s on your fall home checklist, drop it in the comments! 👇
