You folks are a wealth of knowledge, so I offer my ignorance up to your wisdom.
This is a bit off of Coach care, but....
I have just purchased a home that will get sub freezing 3-5 months out of the year at some part of the day. Below 32 for maybe 2 or 3 weeks continuously at times
What do you folks do for winterizing while your gone from your brick and mortar ?
This is my checklist, but I have questions below.
Turn the water supply off
open all faucets while one lower one (outside) is open to back flush / drain
then close all water valves inside and out
turn the water heater to vacation ?? or leave it on lowest setting. This water heater is in a garage.
leave all the home heating off or very low, say 50 deg?
Yes, I know, I should just buy where it warmer. I never got to shovel snow as a kid...so
