Before proceeding with the preparation of a summer residence for winter, you need to plan the upcoming work. First of all, this will concern to ensure the safety of the house itself, house -building and engineering equipment. Or in other words, think over the question of how to save property.
As a rule, raids of robbers in country partnerships and villages, as well as individual dachas, occur late in the fall or with the onset of winter. There are no summer residents at this time, the snow has not yet fallen up all the approaches, and thieves use it.
Therefore, people who have cottages with expensive things, furniture and household appliances are recommended to install a modern alarm for protection, or find reliable watchmen. If people are able to provide this, then you can’t come up with more reliable means for protection.
Those summer residents who are not so provided in material terms (and the majority of such) should cost their efforts and methods. The principles of ensuring the safety of the summer cottage are not difficult and are execute.
What should be done?
If the site has building materials (brick, boards, other lumber, roofing material), then it must be removed in the house or shed, which should be locked.
In order for tramps to live in the country, as well as from the hit of robbers, it will be more reliable if you install the steel door (let it be cheap). Windows – equip deaf metal shutters.
All doors of the pantries, households, etc. are recommended.D. Equip internal locks. Because hinged locks are easy to open.
Attention should also be paid to other aspects of the safety of the cottage.
Firstly, you can not leave food inside the house (cereals, sugar, etc.). It will attract mice. It is not recommended to leave poison and mousetraps, since the dead rodents will deteriorate and all property in the house will be saturated with a cadet smell. It will not be easy to get rid of this smell then.
Secondly, it is necessary to disconnect (if available) all the water supply, while it is necessary to drain the entire liquid from the pipes.
Thirdly, turn off all electricity, turn out the plugs, unscrew the bulbs.
Fourthly, close all the blowjobs in the basement, a stove heating pipe, etc.D. If there is a need, carry out other urgent work (repair, painting, etc.D.).
Fifthly, which is possible, you should take with you and not leave in the country (gas cylinders, TV, valuable things and more).
All these works will allow you to save the cottage for the next season.
