Empty and Clean Appliances
\
Remove all food from your refrigerator and freezer and wipe them down. Also, consider leaving the doors slightly ajar to prevent mold. Be sure to clean and unplug your oven or turn off the gas as well. Also, remember to drain your water heater and turn off the gas or switch it to vacation mode.

Store Furniture
\
If there isn\'92t storage space available on your property, consider renting a storage unit. A nice size storage unit will allow you to store outdoor furniture, bikes, small boats, and other summer toys that could be damaged if left outdoors.
