to do the following things around the house this weekend:
1. Test your garage door opener to ensure that it reverses when it hits an obstruction or when its sensor beam is interrupted.
2. Vacuum the clothes dryer's exhaust duct. If the duct is plastic, replace it (it's a fire hazard). Rigid sheet-metal ducting is best.
3. Replace HVAC filters.
4. Test all GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter) outlets. Press the test button and use a voltage tester to make sure the power goes off.
5. Clean leaves and debris from the condenser of a central air conditioner & trim any vegetation to at least 12" from units.
6. Vacuum the refrigerator coils underneath the appliance.
7. Have the fireplace chimney inspected and cleaned.
8. Inspect window and door caulking and weather stripping.
9. Replace the batteries in smoke detectors. And remember, even recent hard-wired smoke detectors have backup batteries that must be replaced. If you have never checked yours, do so.
10. Sit & relax...you have earned it !! :-)
