This past weekend, our weather went from 100 degrees to 65 degrees in two days. While we’re happy with the cooler weather, it also brings to mind the other things that Fall entails: leaves, rain and cold. You can save yourself time, grief (and money) if you take a couple of hours out of your Fall to get your gutters ready. Home improvement expert, Brad Staggs, has some sensible and cost-effective tips for getting your gutters in shape for Fall in “Spend-A-Little, Save-A-Lot Home Improvements.” We’ve excerpted the gutter section in a free PDF that you can download by clicking the link below. Beyond gutters, Brad has some excellent tips in the book on weatherstripping windows and doors, insulating a water heater and adding a programmable thermostat. All of these projects will save you money and make your home more comfortable as the temperature drops.

I really like your magazine and I really like your website.
great woodworking topic
Leaking roofs and broken gutters take away from shop time! I say anything that protects or extends our woodworking time is worthwhile.
