October 2010
 It's hard to believe we're already telling you to winterize your house. Weren't we just complaining about sweating our hind-ends off? Autumn began last week and already it feels like winter is blustering its way around the corner.
Before autumn's golden leaves turn to winter-white snowdrifts, there's plenty of general maintenance and insulating work to be done on every square foot of your property. From prepping the lawn and garden to wrapping water pipes in the basement to checking the insulation in the attic, an ounce of prevention in the fall will avoid a pound of cure later.
While the following 40 steps may seem overwhelming, many of the chores are small and can be divided up between family members or delegated to professionals. Start on them this weekend and you'll avoid winterization work in wicked temperatures.
