Your November Vancouver Home Renovation Checklist

The weather may be turning chillier and the leaves disappearing, but with the winter holidays approaching, you’re likely to have a bustle of activity states Laura Gaskill. Check off these 6 items from your November Vancouver Home Renovation to do list and spend the rest of the month enjoying the cozy season.

1. Get into the spirit - Add a little touch of the season throughout your home. You do not have to spend much, head outdoors and collect acorns and pinecones to make a simple centrepiece that will last indefinitely.

2. Check the sump pump - Laura Gaskill points out, If you have a sump pump to protect your basement in case of flooding, be sure to check it and make sure it is working properly before the November rains take their toll.
