I never heard about drywall screws pushing out, could that be an urban legend? However it would be cheaper to fix a few small problems that heat an empty building through the winter. I have been leaving summer camps and cabins unheated all my life. The only damage has been a few pipes that burst because they didn't drain, and an exploded coke can.

I turned my 120-v water heater thermostat as far down as it would go
which was a couple of turns.
Now it just spins—and very loosely, at that!
The water in the tank gets overheated and some CPVC fittings split open!
Is it possible to remove the thermostat to restore its operability?
(The location is tight, but not inaccessible).
