5 Projects to Tackle This Spring Break

March (hopefully) means the weather is starting to warm up. If you don’t have a trip planned to an exotic locale, take some time to get ahead on home maintenance projects. Here are a few projects you can complete during a spring fling of home repair.

1. Fun with water
Power washing your home’s exterior not only adds to its sparkle factor, but also blasts away any potentially damaging mold and mildew. Rent a piece of equipment at your local home improvement store and tackle your siding, deck and driveway.

2. Check your AC
Scheduling a tune-up for your cooling system could help you save bucks in the long term. Change your AC filter and schedule a pro to come examine your system now, before contractors get busy.

3. Go with the flow
Pull out a ladder and unclog gutters and check that they’re connected securely.

4. Bask in the sun
Catch some rays – and brighten your home – by cleaning the exterior and interior of the windows. Try a squeegee and skip the paper towels, in order to avoid looking out through a filter of lint.

5. Hit the fridge
Dust and grime on the refrigerator’s coils causes the equipment to use more energy to cool. Cleaning coils is not difficult using your vacuum’s hose attachment. Then, enjoy efficiently-made ice cubes in a cocktail after all your hard work.  And include a paper drink umbrella. After all, it is spring break.
