SHEs Organized

Please note there is a new format for this thread from last year.

As we continue to maintain our homes, the key is maintaining our homes through out the year instead of a full deep cleaning once or twice a year.

Adjust the outdoors to fit your home.

Not all the things listed need to be done this round. Some may be done daily, weekly, monthly, every 3 or 6 months or yearly. Look at each area with fresh eyes to see what should be done this round.

Outdoors

As you do outside wash, rake, trim, pull, pick up and tidy outdoors.

Outdoors

• Trash
• Branches -
• Weeds
• Bushes
• Trees
• Fertilize
• Plant
• Grass seed
• Mail box
• Lights
• Edge
• Trim
• Catalogs
• Planning
• Repairs – either repair or put on a list for the future
• Buy – replacements or something new if needed
• Declutter – kitchen (next focus area) and post accomplishments in Harriet’s declutter thread. This is a great opportunity and will make maintaining the closets easier.

Remember not all the things listed need to be done this round. Some may be done daily, weekly, monthly, every 3 or 6 months or yearly. Use the list as a guide.

This is the second round and the weather is nicer to do this week's ourdoor focus.

This is our third round.

Puncture weeds are pulled in the drive way
out front of the house and side drive way too.

This is the final round.

It is also a good time to do any outdoor work before it gets much colder. Also with all the rain some of are getting it is good to take advantage of the first nice day.

Leaves are still up
but did move the patio furniture and
will be working on the patio and deck next.
