If doing new construction and flooring is going to be replaced I plastic over windows and call someone to spray it.

Drain pumps on both of those are plastic (usually) and will crack when the water in them freezes.Before draining the hot water heater and heating system, the fuel source to them is shut-off.The water heater will be drained.Boilers and radiators will be drained.Not sure about sump pumps - you would want them to pump out water, but if things freeze ...Not a pool guy, so I have no idea about those.After winterizing, there will be signs posted (taped on) all over the place identifying that the place has been winterized and who the contractor was that performed that task and their contact info.

So far for Energy efficiency this year:Blocked the fireplace mostly - not perfect for sure.Put that plastic they sell to go over the windowsCaulked one window that was leaking pretty badly.Put insulation in one of my attic access areas.Only thing left on my list is one more attic access area.Hoping I can write some of this off using US 2014 energy tax incentives.  

HD sells a plastic discharge pipe that's threaded on one end for $3.

@Jeff Greenberg just because someone accepts a service or companion animal it doesn't sound right that you can't give a no cause notice.

Also when using the flexible never us that plastic stuff, I'm not even sure why they sell that but it is also a fire hazard and inspectors will call you out on that every time. 

Even the HD house brand did.Some of the cost cutting by these brands is disappointing, flimsy plastic "metal" parts and such.

Bathroom - no shower older style tub- buy a shower kit for 6-7 hundred bucks or replace everything with new tube and shower (I am replacing sink and toilet)Living room - has carpet that I admit has been their a while (my whole live) but my parents never walked on it they had plastic runners and carpet down over the carpet to protect it all these years.

if you're worried about the floors getting messed up, make sure you use some plastic sheeting or a drop cloth.  

As dry as it is there, you should be able to put a 6 mil plastic moisture barrier down, overlap and tape the seams, This will block ground moisture from getting to most of the wood.A french drain and sump pump are required when water comes in and has to be channeled and pumped out on occasion.
