Default Winterizing up North

Thanks for all the info, including critics, I have a good sense of humor. We do have a lot of things in place, and was just making sure we haven't forgot anything. Waiting till the last week was intentional, and not a problem. We have a heat pump and baseboard FHW, fueled with propane. 55 degrees seems to be a good temp. We have a Nest thermostat with two external monitors, one in basement, one in rear bath, so we can monitor the house temps from afar. We also have a whole house generator, with a auto on when power goes out. Again we can monitor that afar, as does our generator company, only $50/yr for that well worth it. We will shut down our water supply and add RV antifreeze to toilets and all traps, just in case. We will leave the frighted running but shut off ice maker. Cameras can also be monitored from afar. Relatives in area will also check the house occasionally. I think we got it covered. Again, Thanks to All, Happy Holidays to All.
