First year with a cabin. Help me winterize!
Location West Virginia
Rain water collection in 50 gallon barrel
Has a hot water heater
Has a pump to bring water inside
Has electricity
Insulation in attic only
Wood stove for heat only.
Its my first year with my cabin in the mountains of WV. This is all new to me. I am hoping you can help.
I'm planning to try to winterize myself as there's no other option. Any tips on best practices would be appreciated.
Do I put Antifreeze in all drains (sink, shower, toilet?)
Drain the water heater?
Do I do anything with the pump?
I have never seen mice inside but have them outside. Its pretty well sealed. How can I keep the mice out?
I have a Gator. Should I take out the battery? Anything else?
If I wanted to go up in the winter, (keeping water off) would it be an issue?

Fire wood, trim work, and wood stove delivery
Got delayed by moose season but progress is still ongoing. Wood stove should be installed next week! Ran out of stain and have some more trim to do. I think the homemade interior doors turned out great!
