I’ve seen too many cottages open up to hidden problems—clogged eavestroughs, rodent damage, moisture, even electrical issues. These aren’t small things—they can turn into big, expensive repairs if you ignore them.
That’s why I always say: take the time to open your cottage the right way. Clean your gutters, check for unwanted guests, test your air quality, and make sure your electrical and deck are safe before you enjoy the season.
Do it right. Make it safe.
