RE: winter protection


Most things I move somewhere... garage, now shed. 

But since I only have so much room and some things are just too big to do
anything with... not all comes in. I tip some fountains so the water will
not freeze and crack them, others I wrap and usually put some styrofoam in
the wells.. it will crack before the object.

But I have found myself looking at 'stuff' and thinking... is this moving
and all worth this piece....
