Great resource post here – I rent, don’t own, but I’m going to need to put plastic “winterizer” on my windows to keep out drafts. That’s about the only winterizing I can do – heat, etc. all controlled by building. There are things on this list like bleeding your water heater that I’d never know about:)

Good timing on this post…I JUST mowed for the last time this year and drained the gas out of the mower!

Last year I built a window and door to close off a room that didn’t have proper insulation or a heater (sort of a mudroom but not really) the next energy bill (Dec.) was LITERALLY $50 cheaper (from Nov.’s)!! Best thing I ever did to save money.

Disconnecting/storing my hoses and preparing my mower for storage are two biggies that I should probably do ASAP… especially since I live in Michigan and we have already had several frosts!

Thanks for the reminder Kyle!
