The Chicago fall list, handled in one visit

Every item here costs less to fix in October than in January.

Drafts and weatherstripping

Seal the doors and windows that make the furnace run all night. Storm windows swapped in and latched.

Gutters and downspouts

Cleared and re-pitched before the leaves freeze in place and ice dams start backing water into the roofline.

Furnace filters and vents

Filters changed, registers cleared, humidifier pad swapped so the first cold snap isn't the first test.

Outdoor spigots and hoses

Hose bibs shut off and drained. A ten-dollar job in October, a flooded basement in January.

Sticking doors and drafty storm doors

Wood that swelled all summer gets planed and re-hung so it actually latches when it's fifteen degrees.

Smoke, CO and dryer vents

Detectors tested and batteries replaced, dryer vent cleared, before the house is closed up for five months.

A $10 fix in October. A $3,000 floor in January.

Small things in a Chicago house don't stay small once it freezes.

Put it off

Hose left connected → Split pipe, soaked basement
Gutter left full → Ice dam, stained ceiling
Draft left unsealed → Higher gas bill all winter
Door left sticking → Guests arrive, it still sticks
