Fully loaded BBQ pitWinter is drawing to a close and the weather is showing signs of warming. One thing that means is that more time can be spent outdoors in the backyard with friends and family. Fire up the barbecue pit!

But wait -- before getting into full time frivolity, take time to do some preventative maintenance.
  • Got plastic patio furniture? Give those chairs and tables a coat of car wax. This will make them easy to clean and minimize fading from the sun.
  • Got a deck? Make sure all nails or screws are well-seated to eliminate accidents. This is a good time to re-finish the wood, before the weather gets too hot.
  • Got a pool? This is a great time to put in a slide and load it up with floaty things.

Most folks won't be doing much traveling this summer due to high fuel costs and the airlines shutting up like your favorite watering hole on Saturday night, so plan on spending time in the back yard with friends and family!
