Thanks for posting the article. I have one question though. First, the article says to shut off the water to the house. Then, it says to have someone come over and run the water so the traps will not dry out. Has anyone had any problems with leaving the water off for 8 or 9 months ? I also heard that you should empty all the water in the toilets, then someone else said leave the water in and have someone flush them once a month so that the seals dont dry out. Whose right ? Anyone have experience with this ? Thanks
