Besides my usual basketball game, this weekend I needed to attend to some seasonal chores.

I covered the air living room conditioner and covering various bedroom air conditioners, and in my home office/ study one casement window and the air conditioner.

Since I still like to “sneak” out to use the deck to read the morning papers or on weekend (Hoodies serve me fine.), I try to wait until after we carve the turkey to shut down the deck until the spring.

How early or late do you close up shop AKA winterize or shut down the outside?
