Putting house in hibernation for winter..

[JandC]

Turning the water off to toilets is 100% correct. A few years ago we closed up and went to Texas for a month during the winter. We had our son watch the house by doing a quick walk through every week or ten days. On his last check his son, our grandson, used one of the toilets and when he flushed it stuck and continued to run. When we got home there was no flooding but our next water bill was over $400.00!

It sounds to me like you have everything set up pretty good. If you trust your neighbors it may be a good preventive measure to ask one of them to park in your drive once and awhile to give your house an occupied look.
