How to winterize your house. Love, Dad

[hallwest]

Thanks for the pointers alot of small stuff you never think of until it’s to late

Those exterior faucet protectors will not stop your faucet from completely freezing if you've extremely cold weather you need to turn off the spigot from the inside and drain the line.

Squirrels and mice will love the foam vent blocks, which you shouldn't block.

[Torificationable]

Yes. Block off air flow under your house so you can maximize black mold growth and dry rot.

Hey do you have any tips for getting the house ready for spring or is it just reverse this video?

[alfbeef]

You can use A shop vac to clean out your irrigation lines.

[ricklee]

Great pointers that faucet on the outside is a frost-free faucet you don't need those covers as long as you remove the hoses

[Alhhhhhhhhnn]

That lets people know the house is not occupied. In most cases

[thepitpatrol]

Why would you need the outside faucet protector?

[Sir_MaxD]

Those vents aren't meant to be covered

[bobbob]

I'm pretty sure those vents are supposed to vent...especially in wet weather.

[txmade]

Naw bro, those vents are meant to be open. 🤦🏿‍♂️

[Jack]

If the sprinkler system is properly blown out, the foam is not worth the effort.
aka waste of time

[petea]

Or just don't live somewhere so stupidly cold

[ralph]

Um. Blowing out the irrigation lines is not an option if you want yo use the system next spring.

[jensvincent]

Yeah, don’t cover your vents…and before you think about covering a frost free spigot, check yourself into the hospital.

[Copycatcarnivore]

OK you don’t need phone vent covers for your basement for God sakes I live in below zero weather in my crawlspace, which is 3 feet stays 52° all winter long quit trying to sell people stuff they don’t need

[sameold]

Might learn a thing or two if you experienced what Winter is like in central Canada.

[SteelheadTed]

No, don’t block your vents! This is really bad advice.
