Start with general Halloween decorations. Then, decide if you want indoor Halloween decor vs outdoor Halloween decor, scary vs kid-friendly options, or traditional fall vs favorite classic Halloween decorations. Halloween inflatables and animatronics offer a quick solution for instant spirit. You can even have both sweet and scary elements with wreaths that combine fall and holiday elements in Halloween wreaths.

Having a generator means you're prepared year-round for any circumstances Mother Nature throws at you. Whether you're dealing with hurricanes, tornados, severe thunderstorms, blizzards or strong winds, a portable generator lets you enjoy power after the elements knock it out. When searching generators for sale, don't forget that portable generators cost less and generate more electricity than inverter generators, but they're heavier and louder. For safety purposes, always run your generators outside, away from doors and windows.

Ready your home for cold weather by repairing or replacing broken parts of your home and hardscaping. If water freezes in the crevices, you could have problems. On the outside of your home, examine metal roofs or shingles for rust or damage that could let water leak into your home. Gutters should be cleaned to prevent ice dams. Check brickwork and cinder blocks for cracks. Indoors, verify ceiling tiles are free from missing pieces and water damage. Lastly, vinyl siding and chimney caps should be swapped if damaged.

As you prepare for the holidays, stow unused items to free up space. Garage cabinets keep tools, decorations, and more out of the way. Shoe racks and other storage bins take summer belongings out of the equation. Moving blankets can shield fragile items as they're packed together. If you need even more room, a new shed can give you plenty.
