As quickly as autumn
weather arrives it seems to
move aside for the blustery,
cold days of winter. Winter
can catch a person off guard
and the seasons are now
less predictable than ever
before.
It's never too early to
begin preparing your yard
and outdoor living spaces for
winter. Homeowners may
be sad to bid farewell to the
furniture and accessories of
the fair-weather season, but
time is of the essence when
prepping for impending ice
and snow.
* Clean patio furniture.
Gi ve c us hi o ns and
structures a thorough
cleaning and allow to dry
completely. Cleaning items
before storing them for
the winter saves time and
energy next year when it's
time once again to set up
the yard for recreation.
If anything is damaged
beyond repair, discard it
and look for replacements
during end-of-season sales
when savings can be had.
* Move things indoors.
The more items you can
store in a safe and secure
location the better. Load
the garage, basement or
storage shed with outdoor
gear. Leaving items exposes
them to the elements, and
such exposure can cause
rust, wear and damage.
Flower pots and lawn
ornaments also can blow
around in winter wind or
collapse under the weight
of the snow, so collect these
items and store them for
the winter. Take out patio
umbrellas and put them in
the shed. If something is
too large to move indoors,
such as a barbecue or a pool
Prep the yard for
winter weather
lter, cover it with a durable
tarp and secure it with rope.
* Cover delicate trees.
Depending on where you
live, certain fruit trees,
including g trees, may need
to be covered for the winter.
Covering protects them from
subfreezing temperatures
and helps ensure they will
rebound in the spring.
Tropical plants should be
moved indoors where they can
thrive in a heated home. Do
not rip out chrysanthemum
plants. Contrary to popular
belief, these are not annuals.
They will rebloom year after
year if allowed to do so.
* Remove water collectors.
Bring in or cover anything
that may accumulate water,
such as bird baths or kids'
toys. Water expands when
frozen, and that means water
trapped in any ceramic,
glass or even plastic vessel
can expand and cause the
container to crack.
* Clean up leaves and
debris. Piles of leaves not only
can suffocate a lawn and cause
discoloration, but also can be
attractive homes for rodents
and insects looking for a warm
place to spend their winters.
Keep your yard neat and
clean to discourage wildlife
from taking up residence near
your home.
* Cover vegetable and
ower beds. Invest in some
burlap to lay down over
planting beds. This helps to
keep the ground from freezing
over and minimize weeds for
next season.
* Care for outdoor ponds.
If you have a pond on your
property, remove any weeds
around it and sh out any
leaves from the water. Leaves
will decay in the water and
build up ammonia levels that
can harm sh. If the pond is
small, cover it for the winter.
Also, start cutting back on
feeding outdoor sh. These
aquatic animals' bodies begin
to prepare for winter by
slowing down metabolism.
Continuing to feed them
can harm the sh when the
temperature drops.
* Wrap up pool season.
It's wise to close the pool and
cover it before leaves start
to drop. Otherwise you will
have a hard time of keeping
the water clean.
* Plant spring bulbs now.
Now is a good time to plan
where you want to put spring
bulbs. Once you have mapped
things out, get the bulbs in the
ground. Bulbs are relatively
inexpensive and will provide
that rst punch of color when
winter nally skips town.
Autumn yard work gone
green
The connected home is one of the biggest
areas of technical innovation today, with
smart appliances, learning thermostats,
app-driven lights, and intelligent door locks
taking center stage in home improvement
stores and magazines. In fact, by 2017, an
estimated 36 million homes throughout
North America and Europe will be smart.
For some consumers, the concept of a
smart home can be overwhelming. Here
are a few things to keep in mind:
The Basics
Home automation gives you remote and
automatic control of a wide array of devices
in your home -- its ideal for convenience
and control, and some devices can help with
money savings. Home automation can also
alert you to events that you might want to
know about while youre gone, like leaks,
kids arriving home or security breaches.
For your furry family member, your
smart home can distribute pre-determined
amounts of food on a schedule so you dont
have to worry about your pet missing dinner
while youre stuck in trafc.
Is it Right for Your Home?
Not everyone is in a place to install a full
home automation system -- literally and
nancially, as apartment living, renting,
low cash ow, expensive installation fees
and advanced technical set-up can all be
limitations.
However, with stand-alone home
automation devices and apps, you can make
your home smart without integrating a whole-
home automation network. For example,
smart locks, lighting, irons, coffee makers,
security cameras and refrigerators can all be
controlled by smartphones without the need
for a fully integrated system.
First Things First
In a recent analyst report from
NextMarket, the smart lock market will
grow to $3.6 billion worldwide by 2019. With
security and access control leading smart
home product adoption, a logical place to
start is at your front door. Consider trying
What to know
about automating your home
Kwikset Kevo, powered by
UniKey, which was the rst
smart lock on the market.
It makes it possible to open
the door by simply touching
the deadbolt -- without
removing you smartphone
from your purse or pocket.
Via the Kevo app, users
can grant and revoke access
to the house electronically,
view a lock history and
get notied when someone
locks or unlocks the door
without connecting to
the home network or a
power source. Available
at many major retailers,
it installs easily, within a
few minutes, with just a
Phillips head screwdriver,
making it an excellent
example of how one product
can usher your home into
the era of automation.
From there its easy to
move on to take smarter
control of your home
appliances and lighting,
and you can make as many
or as few changes as your
budget and imagination
allow.
Smart home solutions
are granting homeowners
access to information
and features that were
previously unavailable.
Bottom line: you dont
have to be rich or have a
fully-connected home to
enjoy the benets. If youre
considering getting on
board the trend, do your
research and nd the best
technology and products
for you.
