Smile We did it!

After an extensive search, my wife Melinda and I have signed the paper on a Gardenia! We can't wait. We will be moving down in about a year. Perhaps someone can give me some info on what to prepare for to leave the house unoccupied over the summer.

Can't wait till we become full time residents.

We leave our house in TV unoccupied over the summer. We use Village Watchdogs to check on it, and to take care of our golf cart.
They can tell you everything you need to do. I believe they advertise on TOTV. We uplug everything electrical including the fridge. We put Comcast to sleep, and adjust our HWH. We deactivate our garage door. Put oil in the drains and cover. Also we have a humidistat which saves money on air conditioning.

I see this is your first post. You may not know about the search button .. it is very useful. There are also previous posts on just about any topic. Click on the search button on the blue line above and type in your topic.

Congratulations. Hope this helps.

Hi HFivo,

In what Village did you buy your home? The gardenia is a beautiful model.
