With the unofficial end of summer three weeks away, time is running out to finish this year’s outdoor, around-the-home projects. You can handle them professionally through Angie’s List, or you can make it a DIY.

From NBC’s The Today Show, this 5-minute video explains how to make some of the most common repairs easily and inexpensively:

• How to properly seed “brown spots” in a yard
• How to repair wood siding using latex putty
• How to remove mold and mildew from the outside of a home

There is also an accompanying text if you prefer reading instructions versus watching them.

Do-it-yourself projects often money and can build confidence for your next, larger DIY project. And, if do-it-yourself is not your thing, seek out a professional. Either way, the clock is ticking.

Some home repairs are best performed in-season.
