How to prepare your home for summer

Hi gamergirl,

Well, off the top of my head would be to make sure all your windows are in good repair, screens, etc. Other things to check:

Put away all fall/winter things

Check roof (for leaks)

AC (working properly, cleaned)

Clean all gutters

Lawn/gardening equipment (in working order? need replacing?)

Garden hose (working? need replacement?)

Wash all windows, screens

Wash all bedding, curtains, hang to dry for a nice fresh air smell

Screen doors (in good shape?)

Porch, deck (need paint? stain? repair?)

Pool (maintenance, equipment, chemicals)

Buy outdoor games if you don't have any (badminton, volley ball/net)

Check/buy hildren's play equipment (swing set, trampoline, etc) (if you have kids)

Clean out garage (if applicable)

While cleaning you house, think about things to sell for a yard sale, put aside

I think this is all I can think of at the moment :)
