Things to check before fall?
We moved into a 1970s house this summer. First-time homeowner here. We have a few large trees that are already dropping leaves, so the first things on my list are cleaning the gutters, checking the downspouts, and trimming back a couple of branches that are getting close to the roof and siding.
We had a cooler morning the other day, so I also checked around the windows and doors with my tc004mini thermal camera. One bedroom window had a noticeable cold strip along the bottom. The weatherstripping is worn and there's a small crack in the exterior caulk, so I've added both of those to the list.
I'm also planning to check the outdoor spigots, clean the dryer vent, and replace the furnace filter.
Anything else I should add, especially for a house this age?
