Winter is cold but it's also dark. You can help bring in the light by: cleaning your windows now, and strategically adding a lamp or two.

Putting clear plastic over your windows is easy enough to do. Any hardware store will have a kit that you can use. All you need is a hair dryer to heat and shrink the plastic once it's taped up.
How's your fireplace lookin? Now's a good time to give it a cleaning. Also check the flue and any doors and shields to see that they are all in working order. And does your chimney need a sweep?
Here's an idea to help you keep your floors cleaner in the wet and wintry months. Get some slippers to put by the front and back doors and have people remove their shoes when they come into the house.
