It's finally here, we've sprung forward and now there is an extra hour of daylight for you to tackle some projects after work. Here are a few ideas to help you make the most of your added daylight:
1. It's March and there is no excuse for having Christmas lights up this late! Get a ladder and take them down, now! You're embarassing your family and pissing off the neighbors.

2. Everybody loves to grill outdoors, so now is a great time to get your outdoors in tip top shape. Whether it's a patio, deck or stoop - clean it up! Eliminate any clutter that gathered during the winter; pressure wash the area to remove dirt and grime; give your grill a good cleaning with some oven cleaner; plant new flowers and spread grass seed. Your guests will be so impressed!

3. Change the batteries in all your smoke detectors. This is a no-brainer that does not require the extra daylight, but important and worth mentioning.

4. Check your weather stripping and replace filters in air conditioning units - things are heating up and you want to do want you can to stay cool and be energy efficient.

5. If you have a spa, it's a great time to empty it and add fresh water.

Daylight savings is a great excuse to be outdoors so take advantage of it!
