Our growing season is at it's end and I am going to miss the beautiful colors of summer. Soon we will harvest the last of our garden produce and tilling everything under.
Here are a few older videos I had done that you who are new to the area may find useful, especially those who have never lived in a cold climate before. The videos include:
Preparing window AC units
Choosing the right shovel
Prepare for a HUGE humidity change
At the bottom of the post is a word about hoses: leave them on the spigot and you WILL end up with plumbing damage.
And finally a word about hose and spigots.
You MUST remove your hose from the spigot or I guarantee you that when the weather turns bitter cold your pipes will freeze just inside the outside wall and they usually burst. If that happens you are going to have a flooded basement unless you are quick to catch it and turn the water off at the master valve... leaving NO water for the entire home. It is also a good idea to be sure there is no water left in the hose or when it freezes there is a good chance that the hose will burst.
