Signs That Cottage Season Is Over For Another Year
Signing Off On Cottage Season
Being a company that makes custom cottage signs, we thought this news may come easier from us. We wanted to let you know that cottage season is once again coming to close. While you may not want to believe it, we have proof.
Signs That Cottage Season Is Over For Another Year
Normally the signs that cottage season is ending and fall is beginning include leaves turning red
and geese flying south for the winter.
This is not the case this year. In case you missed it, The Weather Network posted this image on their facebook page yesterday (Sept 10 2014) of the conditions happening in Calgary.
We think this is one of the biggest warning signs we have that it is time to prepare the cottage for the winter. Last year we provided you 5 Websites To Help You Close Your Cottage For The Winter and with the unpredictable weather we thought it would be best to give you some more places to look for information on winterizing your cottage.

The tips above are give you a good idea about the workload ahead of you when prep your family cottage for the winter season. Our tip is to protect your exterior custom cottage sign from winter damage by following these steps
-
Wash it with soap and water. A mild liquid dish detergent will do the trick
-
Let it dry
-
Give it a polish with a spray car wax (ie Turtle Wax)
This will add luster to the wood sign and serve as a protectant against the winter elements.
