But while you’re checked into the hotel that still has power and heat, what’s happening to your home, when the pipes are freezing and breaking?
That seems like a solution if you’re just renting a vacation home on a very temporary basis. In that case, you don’t own the home, and someone else has to clean up the mess and pay for the damage.
If you own your home, drained or blew out your pipes, in the attic and under the lawn, then maybe then maybe staying at a hotel that has electricity, heat, and water, is a viable solution.
