It’s that time of year again! Just when you were enjoying the warm weather, fall and winter decide to come along and spoil the fun. Time to put all those Halloween and fall decorations away and get ready for winter! One might ask what are the things that must be done to prepare for the holiday season? You’re in luck! We are here to help you prepare for the winter season. Below is a list of things you might want to consider when preparing your garage for this season. Hopefully this helps you to get ready and be prepared for Santa!
Things to consider when getting your garage ready:
- Rotating storage bins. As you get ready for decorating, find a place to put those storage bins so you have room and space available to move around in your garage.
- Move freezable fluids into the garage. If you have any fluids outside, move them into the garage. If those fluids are needed (such as gasoline for a kerosene heater), it would be extremely difficult to get them thawed out and ready for use when you need them the most.
- Sealing the gaps. Even when your garage door is shut, wind and snow can still come in through the gaps. Make sure those gaps are sealed nice and tightly to prevent your electronics from freezing overnight.
- Heaters. With how crazy the past winters have been, you may want to consider purchasing a space heater for the garage. A heater can help make the garage warmer and also keep the cars warm.
- Insulation. Another way to keep the garage nice and warm would to be hire a contractor (or you can do it yourself) and install insulation into the walls of your garage.
- Setting up a mudpuddle. If your garage is attached to the house, you should designate a specific place to place your shoes (and family members) so dirt and snow does not track in the house.
- Snow blowers and shovels. With winter being around the corner, not every snow plow will be available. It would be a wise decision to purchase a snowblower, or shovel, to help with the driveway and sidewalks around your house so you are able to get to work or other events on your agenda.
