Speaking of maintenance. Is blowing out sprinklers a necessity here? I'm guessing it freezes enough to risk bursting pipes in sprinkler systems, right?
I haven't seen people that provide that service. Anyone know how the winterizing service works. Any recommendations as to who does good work. Do they also do anything outside for water faucets, garden hose connections?

HD and Lowes (many stores really) carry a protective covering for your outdoor water spigot (I like to call them "cold condoms" ), link below.
The people that do the sprinkler blowouts have been doing in since around the 1st of Oct. and are probably heavily booked. We have been with one service and they have 4 compressors and do about 1000 a year, don't even have to call them they call us and say when they will be at the house. Just had ours done Sunday the 25th. Suggest you call around and get on someones schedule before you have serious problems.
In addition if you have a RV and it is stored in a non-heated space you MUST have it winterized or expensive fixes come spring

Go on Craigslist and search for sprinkler blowouts there are numerous ones.
Just taking a break from pulling off the last of my tomatoes and mulching around the roses.
As much as I love to garden, it'll be nice to have a break for a while! LOL
