You may also want to start working on some of the exterior projects around your home while the weather is still warm and not too hot to be outside in the heat all day. Here are some great outside projects for spring:

Ice and water and all sorts of debris from late fall can do quite a number on gutters and if you haven't replaced them in a while. You may may want to check them over for cracks or weak points. A leaky gutter could sending water against your home and that can cause wood to rot around your roof line which can lead to expensive repairs in the future.
Plant Grass: Generally the fall and spring are the best seasons to plant grass. You can plant in the fall to help your grass grow strong roots, but the spring is an excellent time as well because you can take advantage of the mild weather and rain to really start your grass growing quickly. You usually can't just throw grass seed on the ground and expect something to happen.
