Frozen Water Pipes
We woke up this morning with no water in the downstairs bathroom, AHHHH! It seems if it is always those pipes, so Jerry said he is gonna have to do some work on them when it is above 0! As he was rigging up a heater to put in the crawlspace, one of his friends called and said his pipes were frozen too, so... Hopefully it will warm up a bit so we don't have to worry about this again. He came down last night to get his medicine and said "I was sure I turned on those faucets", but I guess he didn't, UGH! He has been fighting one of those nasty colds this week, so he wasn't looking forward to crawling under the cold house. Thank the Lord he didn't have to, by placing the heater down in the crawlspace, it didn't take long and on they came. What a nice treat to start our day, HA! Oh well, I guess it could have been worse.

you're right it could have been worse, they could have busted! luckily all our pipes are in the warm basement with the furnace, but we have lived in places where that was a problem. Dave got some pipe insulation and put it around them and I think that took care of it. Can't wait til Spring!
ReplyDeleteWe've been putting the space heater up to the cabinet with the doors open on these COLD nights. Tony also built a box and flooded it with foam insulation to put around the outdoor spigot which seems to be the cause of most of our problems. So far, so good and we've had some PRETTY COLD NIGHTS lately!
