Reconnect Utilities: Carefully hook up to power, water, and sewer lines. Test all systems.
Yard Cleanup: Rake leaves, remove debris, and trim overgrowth. Add fresh mulch or gravel if needed.
Check Propane Levels: Top off tanks and inspect for leaks.
Safety First: Test smoke and CO2 detectors. Replace batteries as needed.
Set Up Outdoor Gear: Unpack chairs, grills, and patio setups.

Pack Up Summer Gear: Store patio items and cover furniture to prevent weather damage.
Inspect the Roof and Seals: Address any leaks before winter.
Check Site Drainage: Clear gutters and ensure water flows away from your setup.
