07 LIFESTYLE 03-28-19.indd 1 3/27/19 3:22 PM 8 THURSDAY, MARCH 28, 2019 San Leandro Times Spring Home Improvement Spring into Action Spring is a season of renewal and a reminder to homeowners that warmer weather and more hours of sunshine each day are an invitation to get your house and yard ready for summer. Smart home improvement projects deliver both cosmetic and utilitarian value. They can include anything from spring cleaning to remodeling your kitchen or putting in a new driveway. So take a stroll through—and around—the house with paper and pencil in hand and jot down what needs doing. And don’t forget the garage (or basement, if you have one) either. Those out- of-sight, out-of-mind places are often the most in need of attention. On the following pages you’ll find more ideas and important information for home improvement projects large and small.
