Last winter we were gone six months - winterized everything. Pinked everything, blew out all water lines and turned heat off!
We have a lot of 3/4" solid hardwood floors - about 3000 sq ft of them. Wide plank select red oak, brazilian walnut, brazilian cherry and bird's eye maple. Not a hint of damage to any of them. That was a bit of concern for us but we had read on the forum about peeps from the far North, Wisconsin I think who had left their hardwoods unheated over the winter with no damage so we went for it. Turned out okay. Not so lucky with a few shingles but what can you do?
