Cabin winterization

We have used RV antifreeze for years at our place on East Bear Island. Use it for your toilet, sink, and dishwasher if you have one. We take home any items that contain any liquid that would freeze, including food in cans, soda, wine, etc. We leave dry foods, many in mice-proof containers. We put mothballs in open bowls and place them in all of the rooms. We install posts at some locations on our porch to support snow loads at long spans. We also use a water circulator at our permanent dock area. ��
