Getting your home in order during the summer months is challenging, particularly if your house has a lot of damage to the outside. Though this is something that can be fixed with a few home improvements, this will take time and therefore should be completed when the weather is warm. In this article, we are looking into some of the home improvements that you can do to enjoy the summer months.
One of the main ways that you can enjoy the summer months in the garden is by adding a decking area. If you are lucky enough to have a large garden space, decking is a perfect way to utilise this and create a space to host and enjoy the sun even when the grass is slightly damp. Additionally, there are a number of companies offering wpc decking boards at great prices allowing you to get the most out of your garden space without breaking the bank.
Once your decking has been added it may then be beneficial to undergo some landscaping. Not only will this help to keep your garden in top condition all summer long, but it will also give you a space to host that is not overgrown by weeds or other elements of greenery in the garden. During this time, you also have the option to make a pond or add a water feature as this will help to enhance the garden space and make it enjoyable to spend time in. This is made much easier in the summer as the ground is often much firmer.
During the winter and spring, there is a lot of rain as well as debris being thrown around by the wind that can cause your guttering to become blocked. During the summer, is the perfect time to clean your guttering as the debris is much easier to remove and the conditions ensure that it is safe to do. During this particular task, it may also be beneficial to look for any damage that may have been caused to the guttering and replace it, leaving your house prepared for when the weather takes a turn.
The final way that you can improve your home to enjoy the summer months is by painting the outside of the home. This will not only help you to feel proud of your home when spending time here, but it will also increase the street value should you come to put it on the market. By repainting the outside and making it look presentable you can then relax for a number of years knowing that this is a job that has now been completed and will not need to be redone for a significant amount of time. This will help to reduce overall stress as well as increase the property value of your home.

Feared for volcanic violence and revered for regrowth, this wonder of the Northwest is more astonishing than ever. Our visitors guide takes you from the volcano crater to nearby caves.
While lava often sputters out the top of volcanoes, the lateral blast at Mount St. Helens was different.
About 50 miles underground, intense heat and pressure formed magma, a mixture of partially molten rock and gases that moved into the mountain in March 1980. These gases exploded with the force of hundreds of atomic bombs when the landslide exposed the core, blowing out the volcano’s north flank and sending pyroclastic flows of hot gas and rock roaring over the landscape at nearly supersonic speeds.
Mount St. Helens’ crater might best showcase its elemental appeal. The classic viewpoint into the crater is from the Johnston Ridge Observatory, named after U.S. Geological Survey volcanologist David Johnston, who was killed as he radioed the first report of the eruption.
The observatory is usually open mid-May through October. Highlights include spectacular views of the crater, Crater Glacier — one of the few expanding glaciers in the Cascades — and the lava dome, plus a geology-focused film.
The volcano stands 8,330 feet tall, down from 9,677 feet before the blast. Summer climbers can summit Mount St. Helens without technical experience. You’ll need a permit to go above 4,800 feet, and the best route to the rim from Climbers Bivouac on the southern flanks climbs nearly 5,000 vertical feet over 5 miles. The American Alpine Institute and the Mount St. Helens Institute offer guided trips. In May, snow can still cover much of the upper reaches of the mountain, making it an unforgettable experience for backcountry skiers and hardbitten snowshoers. Nature trails range from the short, accessible boardwalk at Coldwater Lake to more involved outings like the 5.3-mile Plains of Abraham Loop through Martian sweeps of pumice, and demanding excursions like the 32-mile Loowit Trail around the volcano. “The landscape is so stark but dynamic and colorful,” said Anna Roth, hiking content manager at the Washington Trails Association, which provides trail guides and recent reports. “Every time I visit I learn something new.” If everything’s snowed in, the short Trail of Two Forests sits much lower at 1,885 feet and offers a great chance for kids (and flexible adults) to explore small lava casts formed by trees that fell into a 1,900-year-old molten flow and then burned and rotted away, leaving a 50-foot-long tunnel to shimmy through. It’s a less-crowded alternative to the ever-popular Ape Cave, where the Forest Service has considered limiting access to fight vandalism and littering. Before you visit any caves, remember to bring three light sources as well as a change of clothes and shoes to help keep bats safe from the spreading white-nose syndrome.
Windy Ridge is only 4 miles east of the more popular Johnston Ridge Observatory, but it’s about a three-hour drive around the blast zone. The extra distance is worth the time. Forest Road 99 closes each winter until the snow melts (usually in late June), but this is the only way to get to Spirit Lake. Along the way, pause at Miners Car, a 1972 Grand Prix crumpled by the blast; the car’s owners died nearby in a cabin. Farther on is the paved, barrier-free interpretive trail to Meta Lake. Sheltered from the worst of the eruption, this clear, blue lake is inhabited by tadpoles, trout and salamanders. Much of the monument is off-limits except for researchers, with hikers asked to stay on trails and overnight camping restricted. Harmony Trail is the only authorized hike down to the scoured shore of Spirit Lake, where you can get closer than most people ever will to the massive raft of blown-down trees. Take in Spirit Lake and the crater from the Windy Ridge Interpretive Site, where a steep stair climb offers a panoramic perspective from the edge of the research
