Seasonal Maintenance Tasks for Spring

As a homeowner, you probably already realize that home maintenance tasks are ongoing and that you never quite get finished before there is something else to do. However, there are certain tasks that should be done at certain times of the year. In this article, we’ll take a look at some specific home maintenance tasks that should be taken care of in the Spring or at least are convenient to do in the Spring.

Spring cleaning isn’t just for the home. Now is the time to tend to your yard too! Mow and edge your yard, prune anything that needs pruning and reseed if needed. Plan your flower or vegetable garden, depending on what you are planting and fertilize as well. If you have spring vegetables that you’ve been coddling indoors, now is the time to transplant them to your garden. Spring is also a great time to dust off any plants. You might even take them outside and gently hose them off and clean out any dead leaves. Transplant any houseplants that have grown out of their containers.

Spring is a great time to do paperwork because everything related to it is on sale because of tax season. Clean out your files, do your taxes or have them prepared and stock up on office supplies. You’ll find the best sales on office supplies during the spring tax season and just before school starts again in the fall. Shred any papers that have personal information on them, such as social security numbers, bank and credit card account numbers, and anything else you don’t want anyone to see.

Spring is a great time to air out the house and wash the windows. Store winter bedding, clothes, and decorations and get out the summer stuff. Not everyone has the time to plan and carry out a traditional spring cleaning; some people just plan various tasks throughout the year instead of days or weeks of spring cleaning. Do try to complete complementary tasks; for example, if you’re washing the windows, either change the curtains or drapes to reflect a spring theme or wash them or have them dry cleaned if appropriate. Clean the blinds if you have them and your windows will get the full spring cleaning treatment, which will freshen up your home considerably.

While you are doing your Spring cleaning, replace the batteries in your smoke alarms. Many people do this when they “spring forward” at daylight savings time. Other people do it in the fall when they fall back. Of course, it doesn’t really matter; what matters is that you keep all smoke and carbon monoxide alarms in good working order so pick your schedule and try to stick with it.

There are about a million more tasks that are recommended for Spring and not all of them are cleaning either. Some really need to be done during this time, such as getting ready for summer and even this task means different things to different people. The most important thing is that you are aware of the things you need to take care of and schedule them accordingly.

Handyman - What Having One In Your Office Can Mean For Your Small Business

Hiring a handyman service for your office or workplace makes everything run more smoothly. This article gives you a run-down of some of the services they may offer.

If you've got an office for your small business, a handyman can really help to keep things in working order. No matter how big or small your workplace is, you can definitely use professional services. Even if you know how to fix things, it helps to have a professional jack-of-all-trades to do it for you so you can concentrate on business. Here are a few things they can do for you.

- Changing light bulbs. This sounds like an easy enough task if you're talking about a standard 40 watt bulb, but most offices use fluorescent lights and complex light fixtures which can be a little more time consuming to change.

- Fitting and hanging signs and pictures. The things you've got hanging on your office walls always require a little upkeep. One of the common services an office handyman offers is to fix, fit, hang and change signs and pictures.

- Cupboards, filing cabinets and shelving. Any place of work has a number of shelves and cabinets for keeping files, supplies and important records. Installing shelving is a job that can take some time and hard work, so it's good to have a professional on hand who can take care of it.

- Tile maintenance for ceilings. Most workplaces have tile ceilings that have to be maintained, cleaned and sometimes replaced. Unless you want to climb the ladder yourself, you'll want to have a good professional service to do it for you.

- Moving furniture and cubicles. There are always times when you want to shift things around. If you've got modular cubicles, it's nice to have someone who you can simply ask to do the moving for you. This saves you the time of doing it yourself.

- Chair repairs. Chairs are the most broken objects in any office or workplace, and it's nice to have someone who can fix them rather than just tossing them and having to buy new ones. They can also do steam cleaning and recovering. When you do need new ones, your handyman can order and manage their replacement.

- Wiring and connections. Some services handle your electrical needs, including running wires around and connecting things. This is great because it gives you an all-in-one go-to-guy (or gal) to run the wires for you.

- Wall maintenance. Your fix-it pro can deal with all the maintenance issues your walls have, including patching and repairing walls and also doing the painting when it needs to be done.

- Plumbing. You can sometimes find a service that will also handle basic plumbing needs. They can make sure your toilets are flushing, taps working and office kitchen sink's clean.

When you've got your own office handyman service, it makes everything run a lot more smoothly. When you or your employees find something that needs attention, you simply pass a work order on to them and they take care of it. Having your own repair and maintenance person in-house also saves you the cost of hiring an outside contractor for small tasks. It's a great step in building your small business.
