Winter - Away - Turn Off Heat - Drain Pipes
Yep.
My neighbor - seasonal - decided that all was a waste of money heating house by propane all winter. Year round full foundation modern house.
So hired someone to drain all pripes, etc.
Following year I visit and there in living room is a man on stilts patching the ceiling.
The following year. Did same. No heat in house.
I visit again.
And low and behold. There is the same man on stilts patcing the ceiling. My visit was only a few minutes. So I did not ask if there was any other damage. The owner of house was quite upset. So I did not ask any questions.
Penny wise. Pound foolish.
Yes, some can and do drain everything - and all is fine - for years or decades.
But some do have issues.
And yes, at out 1940 camp. We did drain all pipes. This is how I learned to sodder copper pipes. And I became quite good at it.
