“Act as an experienced plumbing contractor writing winterization instructions for a property owner. I just completed work at a property that will be vacant during freezing weather. Write a clear, step-by-step winter shutdown instruction sheet that protects me from liability and helps the owner prevent freeze damage. The property details: [describe property type: house/cottage/condo, number of bathrooms, whether it has a basement, type of water heater, any special fixtures like outdoor taps or radiant heating]. Include: a friendly introduction explaining why these steps matter, numbered shutdown steps in plain language, a checklist they can print and check off, a clear statement that following these instructions is the owner's responsibility, and a note that I'm available if they have questions before shutting down. Make it professional but easy to understand for someone with no plumbing knowledge.”
