No heat in northern home all winter.
With the high cost of keeping heat in our Illinois home all winter while we are gone I am considering turning off all heat to our house. I already turn the water off and blow out the lines and winter...

Wow, four grand just to heat to 50 is indeed a lot. Glad you are not trying to live in that through the winter. While we live much farther south and don't leave home for more than a week or so during winter, we have no central heat we can control, either, so it gets whatever temperature it gets. But then good insulation and passive solar heat does keep our house above 50 even for a week below freezing. So, yes, some of us do that. But our house clearly does not act like your house.
And I too would worry about damage to drywall and consider strongly adding insulation. Unless you are heating a huge space, it sounds like you have some kind of major heat loss problem. Are you sure a neighbor hasn't found a way to suck your heat into his house?
