But the outside spigots is good to remind me about - that's a thing we normally always did as part of our late Autumn preparation - rake the leaves, clean the gutters, and shut the water to the outside spigots off and remove the hoses.
Wondering now if we need to do anything special in the laundry shed. The shed itself is partially insulated but there's no heat in there. Should we buy a space heater and run it for an hour in there before bedtime maybe?

We have issues with laundry pipes freezing up north. It all depends how well insulated walls are around pipes, and here, manufactured homes are not well insulated at all. Hence the warning of opening sink cupboards. I may run a space heater in shed for an hour before bed where I have my laundry and stored all my potted plants.
