Spruce up your yard for entertaining

You can enjoy the warm evenings outdoors together for longer.
A weekend of DIY
Make a DIY checklist and spend a weekend ensuring everything is in tip-top shape around the house. Carry out any routine maintenance such as checking the electrics, HVAC system, roof and basement inspections, and anything else that needs doing. You may find you need to make a few quick changes such as an Electric Panel Upgrade, or roof repairs. Summer is a good time of year to get on top of these things and it’s easier with fewer people in the house.
Turn your bathroom into a spa
