Winterizing the Cabin (Duane)
What needs to be done to winterize the cabin? Likely more demand over the winter months now that more of the family are retired
May not be enough to insulate the pipes, may need to have heat on in basement (there is a vent leading to the basement)
Furnace will be left on, bedroom and bathroom doors will be closed. Melanie will get plumber to check the main water valve 4 ft underground behind third bedroom to see what is needed to get it working, will get plumber to light furnace and will check with plumber as to lowest setting for thermostat to ensure that the pipe under the cabin does not freeze.
Monitoring of cabin during the winter
(Meloche Monex Ins. requirements)
i) Melody Aubin (1.250.545.3690) – is comfortable going into cabin but does not feel comfortable going into the storage area to check on the water pipes.
Sharyn will approach Ron and Karen Davis about going into the storage area since Melody is hesitant
ii) Couple that Sharyn knows will “keep an eye out” on their walks
Ron and Karen Davis (home: 1.250.558.0129; cell 1.250.864.0184); Sheila has suggested we pay them a gratuity
The Sandersons would be willing to check in on the cabin as well if need be

Main Water Valve
Assessing Problem with Main Water Valve (4 ft. underground, cannot be closed, presently) NOTE: VERY IMPORTANT
Need to insulate outside pipes? (not drained when cabin is winterized)
Need plumber to inspect main water valve (won’t turn in right direction, leaks water into vertical hole leading to valve when turned the other way)
Currently certain that there is water in the pipes from the underground valve behind the cabin to the shut-off valve under the cabin. Uncertain whether formerly, when Dale would drain the cabin, there was no water from the underground water valve to the point where the water pipe enters the crawl space underneath the cabin.
Melanie will contact a plumber and engage one to take a look at the main water valve before winter sets in, light the furnace, and provide guidance re: the vents (Victor has found contacts for Mitch Dally/K R Wright)
Public Lake Access #3
Notice Regarding Improvements to be made to Public Lake Access #3 next door to Sandersons (Sharyn)
Sharyn circulated the notice to the group
Fruit Trees
(Melanie – given that there is a lot of wasted fruit at some points in the summer, are there some trees to consider removing?)
Significant time spent disposing of overripe fruit, should we remove the trees?
Specifically apricot tree; Melanie will engage someone to trim the tree back significantly
Make contact with Carswells and see if we can get permission to harvest their pears when they’re not around?
Purchase of Dining Table
Purchased by Victor
Pots and pans at the cabin
Duane will buy a new set at Canadian Tire; Old set will be disposed
Pillows
Pillows are old, heavy, and allergen laden
Sharyn will look into buying 12 new pillows at Costco/Wal-Mart (medium-firm)
Boat

Gear oil in where propeller is (Mike will oil the propeller in June)

Add item: turn off baseboard heater in bedrooms
