To create a fun atmosphere without the frights, go with Halloween yard decorations that are kid-friendly. Halloween inflatables and Halloween doormats are festive solutions that aren't as spooky as many other outdoor Halloween decorations. Ask your kids what's scary to them – they may be braver than you think.

Having a generator means you're prepared year-round for whatever circumstances life throws at you. Whether dealing with snowstorms, severe thunderstorms, hurricanes, tornados, or strong winds, a portable generator lets you enjoy power after the elements take it out. When browsing generators for sale, remember that portable generators are more affordable and generate more electricity than inverter generators, but they're heavier and louder. Always run your generators outside, away from doors and windows, for safety purposes.

Make sure your home is ready for winter weather by repairing or replacing faulty parts of your hardscaping and home. If water freezes in any crevices, you could have problems. On the outside of your home, examine metal roofing panels or roofing shingles for rust or damage that could let water in. Gutters should be cleaned to prevent ice dams. Check cinder block and brickwork for cracks. Indoors, ensure ceiling tiles are free from water damage and missing pieces. Lastly, vinyl siding and chimney caps should be changed out if damaged.

As you prepare for the holidays, stow what you don't need to enjoy extra space. Shield fragile items with moving blankets. Garage cabinets keep decorations, tools, and more out of the way. Remove summer belongings from the equation with shoe racks and other storage bins. If you need even more room, a new shed can give you the space you've dreamed of.
