✅ Check Attic Insulation & Ventilation: Make sure to check for proper insulation to prevent heat loss and ensure there is no uneven insulation, moisture or small animal entry points.

✅ Prepare Driveway & Snow Gear: Seal cracks in the driveway and ensure you have enough salt or ice melt to last the winter. Be sure to test your snowblower in advance before those dreaded big snowfalls.
