To create a fun atmosphere without the frights, find kid-friendly Halloween yard decorations. 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 any circumstances Mother Nature throws at you. Whether dealing with thunderstorms, blizzards hurricanes, tornados, or strong winds, a portable generator lets you enjoy power when the elements take 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 louder and heavier. Always run your generators outside, away from doors and windows, for safety purposes.

Ready your home for cold weather by replacing any faulty or broken parts of your hardscaping and home. If water freezes in any crevices, you could be in for major repairs later. On the outside of your home, examine metal roof panels or roof shingles for rust or damage that could let water leak in. Clean gutters to prevent ice dams. Check brickwork and cinder blocks for cracks, and ensure indoor ceiling tiles are free from water damage and missing pieces. Lastly, swap out vinyl siding and chimney caps if in poor condition.

As you prepare for the holidays, give yourself extra space in the house and stow away the rest. Garage cabinets keep tools, decorations, and more out of the way. Protect fragile items with moving blankets. Shoe racks and other storage containers take summer belongings out of the equation. If you need even more room, a new shed can give you the space you've dreamed of.
