Pete’s Seasonal Home Checklist is a once-a-month email: the short list of what to check this season, inside and out, with one new guide from the website in every issue. Every issue is kept here, so you can read back through a whole year of the house.

Past Issues
What a Typical Year Covers
- Fall: caulk before the freeze, maintenance coats on sun-facing doors, decks and gutters, and moving the painting inside.
- Winter: interior season. Color under lamp light, trim and cabinets, and booking spring exterior work before the calendar fills.
- Spring: the walk-around. Wash, inspect, touch up, recaulk, and what the winter did to the south and west walls.
- Summer: decks, fences, and stain; exterior painting in the weather window; keeping new paint clean.
