Remember anything that can spoil, surely will, so take it with you or find a neighbor to give it to. Hope this helps, And please have someone hired to do your yard work, and give your neighbor or someone nearby to keep a watch on your property along with your other addresses and phone numbers for emergencies.

We usually leave the temp at 82 in the summer and it costs about $60/mo for electric. This summer, my brother was the last in the house and left it at 84 as recommended by an old timer TV resident; the monthly electric bills were under $20. We were in TV for a week earlier this month and nothing turned green or icky.
