5 Things you can do for the wife for the holidays to keep yourself in the “Knight in Shining Armor” category.
- Oil, grease, and lubricate every squeaky hinge in the whole house. For a bonus even fix that squeak in the hallway floor.
- Clean the outside garbage cans. You know they didn’t come from the store smelling like that. Lather, rinse, repeat - then do it again. Those can be a great place for a stick-up…
- Clean your exterior windows. Using a newspaper to wipe cleaner off windows will help avoid streaking. One hazard here - if you don’t do it right, you will have to do it again.
- Basic electrical work. Change out a switch or install a ceiling fan or just change out all the burnt-out light bulbs. Nothing says ‘I Love You’ like cheating death with electricity. Be safe though - actually turn the power off before doing anything more than changing a light bulb.
- Clean the gutters. Makes your house look nicer and allows your gutters to do their jobs correctly. Better yet get some gutter covers.
