This is the first year that we will be able to travel for more than 1-3 weeks at a time. My question is what do you do to the house before leaving for a 2-4 month trip? We have neighbors with keys to randomly walk through the house, pick up mail and generally keep their eyes open. Since we live in the country what do you do with the water? Turn off the well pump? Drain the lines? Turn off the major circuit breakers to the various appliances? Turn off and drain the water heater? Leave lights on timers? Heating or A/C units set to a certain temperature? We will appreciate any and all information that the forum may provide. Thanks.
