Superstition #456

Yes, we have many kinds of large outdoor Halloween decorations, including several life-sized animatronics. Make your front yard the scariest in the neighborhood with giant Halloween decor options, including witches and skeletons. Skelly and Dean the Deathologist, a dapper bartender, are two current favorites. Halloween inflatables are another way to up the drama and create interest.

Having a generator means you're prepared year-round for whatever circumstances Mother Nature throws at you. Whether dealing with severe thunderstorms, snowstorms or strong winds, a portable generator lets you enjoy electricity when the elements take it out. When considering different generators for sale, remember 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 outdoors, away from doors and windows.

Ready your home for winter weather by replacing any broken or faulty parts of your home and hardscaping. If water freezes in any crevices, you could be in for major repairs later. On the outside of your home, examine metal roofs or roofing shingles for rust or damage that could let water leak in. Gutters should be clear and functional to prevent ice dams. Check cinder blocks and brickwork for cracks, and ensure indoor ceiling tiles are free from water damage and missing pieces. Lastly, change chimney caps and vinyl siding if they're in poor condition.

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