Cottage
cleanup
season

WHEN you leave your cottage
or cabin for the weekend or

_the season, vour cleanup
should include not only what’s
in or around the house bur
what’s over it.

Snow can accumulate on
your roof and become quite
heavy, creating a hazard to the
structure or people nearby. In
fact, four feet of snow on a 20
by 30-foor roof weighs 30 tons
—as much as a DC-9 airplane.

Remember that vour insur-
ance policy covers the cortage
and its contents —~ irs nota
maintenance contract. When
you're planning to clear the
snow off your roof, make sure
to climb up safely, Warch for
icy spots if you’re using a lad-
der, and be careful of your
footing while both climbing
the ladder and up on the root.

__ If you're away from your
cottage for more than a few
days, have someone check it
regularly for snow  build- “up.
(and for any other signs of
actual or potential damage).
