This is the list I went by.

1. Shut off main water valve in garage. Put washing machine water in the “off” position. Turn off ice maker.
2. Turn hot water tank to “low” or “vacation”.
3. Bring all lanai furniture into living room. Put coasters or cardboard under legs.
4. Place saran cling wrap over toilets and lids down to prevent evaporation.
5. Set A/C to 80-82 degrees and activate “cool setting”.
6. Throw out food in fridge that will not keep. Put opened crackers and bread in fridge or freezer.
7. Lock all doors and windows and place dow rods in slider. Also lock screen in lanai.
8. Close all blinds.
9. Close all drains in sinks and utility sink.
10. Put garage door in “lock” position.
11. Open all closets for circulation.
12. Prop open dishwasher.
13. Disconnect computer, TV , cable lines, nightlight, computer.
14. Pour capfull of cooking oil in garbage disposal and turn “on” for a couple of seconds. Put stopper in sinks.
