Island house closing and winter access?

Webbsatwinni · 09-18-2007, 08:17 AM

We are new to the forum (we have been reading it for sometime). We are in the final stages of purchasing a Rattlesnake property and would like to get the forums opinion on closing it for the season and winter access.

When is the latest we can close it, as we will be finalizing on Oct 18th, could we spend a few weekends there and then close it?

We have a good idea on what to do to close it, we are also going to hire someone to help the first year. That said, is there any advice for our first time?

Would it be fair to expect to be able to spend a few weekends up there throughout the winter? I know we would need to bring in water, but are there other concerns? And what would be better, a snowmobile of small hovercraft?

This forum is great, we have spent quite a few weeks up on the lake renting before we decided to buy, this forum provided lots of great and useful information.

Thanks.
