I'd be happy to look at any credible references that support your
position that all you have to do is open faucets and shut off the main
water valve.


Next time I'm without heat for a few days, you can stop by and watch the
pipes not burst.

Being without heat for a few days and having no pipes freeze doesn't
prove anything. It can take a couple of days for a house to lose heat
to begin with. That's very different from a house that's without heat
for a week when it's 15 degrees outside.




The antifreeze is a good idea, but I just didn't do it.

As far as references, what did you do before there was an internet? Do you
ever believe peoples' experiences if you don't have a web link?


Just as I thought, no references, just bad advice. It's like saying,
I leave my car at the convenience store, with the engine running, and
it's never been stolen, so that's good practice.
