Your summer key ring is about to get a long winter break. ๐ฅฑ
Closing up for the season takes more than switching off the lights. Thereโs food to remove, outdoor upkeep to finish and equipment to prepare for the months ahead.
Work through this list before heading home:
โ
Mow and w**d around the property
โ
Clear leaves and debris from the gutters
โ
Deep-clean the interior and remove perishable food
โ
Prepare HVAC equipment according to its instructions
โ
Turn off the water and drain pipes if that suits your plumbing set-up
โ
Unplug electronics and appliances
โ
Close drapes to protect furniture from the sun
โ
Close the fireplace damper once the fireplace is cool
โ
Lock up the property and any outbuildings
Every property has its own winter routine. Check the instructions for your appliances and plumbing before shutting anything down. A little extra planning now can make your first spring visit much less of a guessing game.
Save this list for closing day. Need help with property damage at your seasonal place? DM us or call us at 306-559-5900. ๐ฒ
May springโs first visit come with birdsong and no surprises. ๐ฆ
