Ah, September. Summer's officially over for school kids, although when it comes to cold, hard science, it's not over until the autumnal equinox on the 22nd. While you're enjoying the imminent onset of brisk weather, or trying to cram in some last-minute summer fun, it's a good time to look about your home and figure out what needs to be done to get you in ship shape for the coming colder months.
