R U Ready for Winter?


 


Here are a few suggestions to prepare for winter:

Mower Winterizing: Clean entire machine, sharpen blade, change oil, scrape deck, clean air filter, drain gas or add gas stabilizer (i.e. Sta-Bil)



Around the Garden: Cut perennials back, mulch roses, rake leaves and pick up debris, til the garden, winterize any water features (ponds, pools, fountains) and irrigation system. Disconnect and store hoses.

For the House: Clean the furnace filter, replenish firewood, install storm windows, be sure you have a snow shovel and a blended ice melt product for sidewalk and driveway.

The Car: Keep fuel tank at least half full, check the battery, put ice scraper, blankets, small shovel, extra clothes and blankets in vehicle in case you get stranded.

Snow Blower: Clean the air filter, add fresh gas, check and lube cables.



 Happy Holidays!
&
Let it Snow!
