November is my favorite month for eating, eating things others have baked, and looking at recipes for baking. Plus, planning for baking. {snicker} This makes the thought of cleaning groan-worthy. Alas, we all know, that cleaning has to happen. November’s home repair checklist is easy to tackle because I didn’t add too much to the list. Don’t stress, but try to get as much done as you can because the holidays are right around the corner {literally} and then it’s crunch time!

November Organization
Now that the weather has cooled off {at least, hopefully it has! It still hasn’t around here!}, you might find more desire to get things done. I’ve found that having cooler weather makes cleaning and organizing so much easier, so hopefully, it’s cooler where you live!
1. Inside the House ~ Cleaning
There are quite a few things inside your home that need to be deep cleaned that we sometimes forget about. I’ve listed some of the most often missed items to clean.
- Clean out toys and Label them
- Create a Book Nook or organize the playroom
- Wall Furnace: clean grills
- Range hood: clean grease filter
- Fire extinguisher: check it’s fully charged
- Clean out debris: sink, tub stopper, drain holes
- Water softener check salt drum, replenish
- AC: change filters

2. Outside the House ~ Home Maintenance
Don’t forget about the outside of the house. Now that the leaves are turning, {and falling} it’s time to do fall cleanup and get ready for winter!
- Inspect garage door, lubricate, tighten bolts
3. Improve the House ~ Home Repair
Now that the weather has cooled off {except in Texas! ha!} it’s a great time to do some home repairs without sweating buckets! These ideas will make a huge difference in your home and don’t take a ton of effort! {score}
Planning Ahead:
4. Sale Items:
This month is a great time to buy items that go on sale in November for discounted prices including Thanksgiving sales, Black Friday Deals, and Cyber Monday Deals.
- Apple Products ~ Apple devices can be bought at great discounts on Black Friday, but here’s the disclaimer: you need to buy a generation behind the latest greatest newly released model!.
- Android Tablets ~ Black Friday is the time to buy your Android tablet for the best deal of the year so if you’ve had your eye on one, pick it up the day after Thanksgiving!
- TV’s ~ November is the time to get your budget or high fallutin’ TV at a great deal.
- Clothing ~ Expect to get clothing for an average of 50% off. Wow, right?
HINT: Wait on toys, exercise equipment, winter gear, the latest-greatest computers, and gift cards!
