Seasonal

Porches, patios, and decks have become a commonplace feature of American homes. Like the wide array of architectural styles of the homes they are attached to, porches, patios, and decks come in many variations and designs, each with their own unique traits. Trying to decide on which type is right for you has a lot of interesting details to consider, which is why we’ve gathered five of the most popular and appealing styles for your home.

Wrap-around porches

A staple of many Southern and Victorian style houses, a wraparound porch is the home addition many people dream of. These traditional porches are perfect for entertaining l

It seems like only yesterday the time had come to get the pool ready for a season of swimming. Kids are back to school, and once the temperatures stay at 65 degrees (18 degrees C) or cooler for days in a row, it’s time to close up and winterize the pool until next year. It can be a big job to prepare your pool for a long time of non-use, but if you take the time to put everything away properly, you’ll save yourself time and even avoid potential damage over the freezing winter months.

First, Get the Chemistry Right

You’ll need to consult your pool manual to determine how to treat your water and for how long, but it takes about a week and when the chemistry is right, it’s time to cover the pool and shut it down for the season.

Make certain to follow any direction about adding winter algaecide, chlorine or pool shock, giving enough time for these to set. You don’t want to ruin your pool cover. Then, remove all of the pool accessories: diving board, la

Football season is upon us, and this year marks the 100th season for the National Football League. The NFL kickoff game is September 5th, starting off the season with the Chicago Bears against the Green Bay Packers. Regardless of which team you’re rooting for, it should be an exciting game. The 2019 season will wrap up with Super Bowl LIV at the Hard Rock stadium in Miami on February 2. For you, that means months of football to look forward to watching on your flat screen, and why not make it an outside party?

Your patio, deck or porch are perfect places to enjoy football season, and with a weekend coming up, there’s no better time to make your outside space game day ready. We’ve put together a short checklist so you can get your patio ready for kickoff.

First And Foremost, Prime Your Outdoor TV

If there was ever a time to upgrade your TV, this is it. Get something the right size for viewing in the space you plan to use it. Make sure it’s big eno

If you’re planning a long vacation, congratulations! You deserve it. And since the point of a vacation is to relax, the last thing you want is to feel anxious about your home while you’re away. Or worse, return to unexpected accidents or a break-in. We’ve put together a helpful checklist so you can protect your home and your belongings while you’re getting your much needed R & R. Follow this list before you set off and the only thing you’ll have to worry about is which pair of flip-flops to wear to the beach.

Make Your Home Break-In Proof

Secure your home from burglaries. If you plan on being away for a long time, you may want to invest in a quality alarm system. Even if you live in an otherwise safe neighborhood, robberies can happen anywhere, and a good security system will give you peace of mind. Once you choose the one you like, test it out and make sure it’s functioning properly several days before you leave.

Let a neighbor know you’re

So you finally bought that fire pit you’ve had your eye on for months. Nice! Summer is prime time for long, lingering evenings outside.

Why You Need To Cover Your Fire Pit?

First, let’s talk about why you need to cover your fire pit in the first place. The short answer is, if you don’t, it won’t last long, and it won’t look too snazzy, either. Water damage is no joke, so unless you live in a place that literally NEVER rains or snows, you need a cover. Another reason to cover it is for safety. If you have kids, you know they get into many things. Need we say more? Covers can prevent a lo
