Any thoughts, recommondatios or experiences with wallboard, wood floors, appliances, etc during extreme temps.
Many years with no heat in the winter except when we go up snowmobiling. Taking the cold place and warming and then it gets cold again when we leave. Have had no problems with the wood floors, wallboard, refrigerator, micowave or anything else. Just make sure you do a complete job of winterizing. also remember to leave the faucets open to allow any trapped air to excape and lingering droplets in the pipe to evaporate. I use RV antifreeze in the drain traps. Any washing machines or ice makers will need to have the water totally removed. I use portable air compressor, like what you would carry in a car; to blow out my electric water heaters, not storage but small instant heaters at each sink. Should work for ice maker.
By the way, the lake is still great in the winter, just check with someone who has been around for a few winters before going onto the ice. Many tricky spots.
