Turned off the AC, covered it up, wrapped in clear plastic/moving wrap, and killed the breaker at the box. Turned on the heat over the weekend for the lady friend, and brought out the heavy artillery: winter duvet.
I figure I'll mow the grass one more time in the coming 2 weeks, then take the mower and water hoses in. Haven't decided if I'm gonna bring in the patio table, chairs, and BBQ
Also gotta fix up the garage door - fucking rat/etc ate thru the bottom liner. Also need to re-align the door in closed position.

I'm curious about what Choco is going to do with the castle up north?
Sell the castle and upgrade in the Spring.

My fall prep looks like a complete bathroom renovation thanks to a water leak.

I threw my wicker chairs in the basement. Patio table moved to the corner of the patio with a Dollarama tarp on it. BBQ is staying outdoors this winter with cover since the garage doesn't have room as I got a snow blower and the Lexus is much longer than the EP so no space. Haven't covered the AC yet.
Still need to mow and fertilize the lawn.
Never bothered with turning off the breaker. Aside from being accidently turned on with the cover on, is there another reason for it?

I dont think Ive ever covered up the AC.
Bought gas and tuneup/storage stuff for the mower and blower. Ill be cutting the grass and doing some fall prep this week.
Sold my winter wheels and tires form the old cars, so that cleared some space in the garage. But Ive got to buy 2 new sets.

I've had the AC cover for 3 years but never remember to put it on. Kinda figured they are built for the outdoors so didn't bother but I guess it doesn't hurt it so I will try to remember to throw it on this year.
At one point, I had 4 sets of tires in my garage. LOL
-1 set from the EP -1 set for the GF's Fiat 500 -1 winter set for the Lexus -1 set from used Lexus winters
I only have 2 sets now. I wanna put some hooks up to organize the garden tools better. Single garage FTL.

Still haven't figured out if I should install a legit fireplace turbine fan to distribute the heat in my fireplace ... I currently have 2x 92mm @ 5v PC fans 'trying' to circulate heat, but can't really decide if they're doing anything or not. I haven't turned the heat on yet. But I've been using my fireplace - so that's good enough.
I have a wood burning fireplace brah.

I've never covered my AC. Exactly what is the point of covering it besides providing a nice enclosure for small animals to live in? Always been my thoughts as well. My old man never covered his AC either.

Need to do hot water tank too, but screamin is too busy partying to come over and swap the tank.
So new AC and furnace for you, 6k, new hot water tank, 1.5k. Ain't home ownership great?
