Lesson learned!

I turned off a house's water for the first time just now :). With the help of youtube haha. Proud to say the water is off and now I can go back and enjoy my Friendsmas.

My heat pump couldn't keep up with the cold so now it's always running and keeping house 50 to 55 last night.

I was too worried and came back to check on the pipes. Everything looked good and I Googled how to turn off the water to my house so I don't have to worry anymore haha. I'm lucky the previous owners left their water key! Although they left it in the most strange place ever - the attic! You'd think it'd be in the garage!

I didn't wanna make a new thread so I'll ask here and hope somebody replies...

How worried should I be about my pipes bursting? I'm a new home owner and I have to be out of the house over the holidays. I left my kitchen sink on drip, turned off the two spigots in the backyard but I don't have an accessible valve for the one in the front yard. I put insulation covers on all 3 before I left.

Edit forgot to mention my thermo is on ECO mode and it looks like it's keeping the house at 55F right now
