Our plan is to empty it after the season and store it in the garage. We have too many sub 10F days.
That had been our plan, too, but we weren’t as prepared as we had hoped on very short notice in early November…after we had just returned from one trip and were heading out for another with a quick turnaround. Not enough time to get all the outdoor chores finished and short-handed. So I’m happy that our solution worked out well this time.
