re draining pipes in house before leaving.
I did this last year, but when we got back, a couple of the taps started sprouting water all over the place ! It looked like the rubber washers inside them had all dried out. Had to replace one set of taps completely.
This January, (already thinking and looking forward to going !) I reckon I will only turn off the main tap inside the house, i.e. not drain pipes (heating left on obviously !!). Comments ??
Is it REALLY necessary to turn off the tap in the driveway ??
