Got DIY plans for Easter?

For many Australians, the Easter period marks a great time for home improvement. Perhaps for many it’s that hurried panic of “are we so far into 2015 already?” But for those in-the-know, making the most of time-off is just a question of finding the right job - and, often, getting something done before winter weather. Here are three tasks to get stuck into this bunny season.

Painting

Easter is rather early this year - on the one hand, that means even less time between when supermarkets are populated by tinsel and chocolate rabbits, but on the other it means it falls at a great time for catching the last of the summer weather. Repainting, whether on exterior or interior surfaces, can often be a DIY job. You might want to consider something light and airy to see in the winter.

Autumn cleaning

From clearing the gutters to declogging the fireplace or gas heater filters, there are plenty of tedious little chores your future self will thank you for having done early on! Cooler, wetter weather means spending a lot more time inside, so be sure to prevent the dissemination of allergens by deep cleaning carpets and reverse A/C units. Given the workout some fire alarms get from BBQ smoke in summer, now is also an ideal time for double-checking batteries - especially if you have wood-burning fireplaces that'll see some use in the coming months.
