Could I get a cup of HOT coffee please?
It's been more than a week and I am still trying to thaw frozen pipes! And I don't have a hair dryer.
Plumber didn't think to insulate the drainage pipe that goes outside... and it froze. Inside and outside. When one pipe freezes, the ones next to it freeze. And a pipe is leaking. His response? "Oh, we didn't think of that. We should have done something differently. Well, get a hair dryer and thaw out the pipes and get back to me."
Need water pipes to have heat.
On the bright side, temps MIGHT reach freezing next week!! Weu weu!!!! There might be a day when the temps reach 40 something!!!! I am just so excited about the weather forecast!!!
I hope everyone else, and all animals too, are surviving this unusual COLD weather and frigid winds!
I think I need to do some baking today. Use the oven!

These are the struggles that make us appreciate summer, spring, and fall. Hopefully when the weather gets more manageable, you can get the things taken care of that you're finding now so they don't reoccur. It makes you wanna just pull the covers back up over your head and sleep all winter!

@Sara Ranch we used to live in hurricane country, 75 miles north of Houston. Vital hurricane readiness supplies include -at the top of the list-a pan of brownies and a box/bottle of wine. LOL LOL

sara. get a really big hair dryer.
Just don't place it close to anything combustible and never use it indoors.

Yep, Dad had a couple of those back in the day. Nice way to force heat and air, but even with fuel, still needed a power cord and outlet.

Well, she didn't mention whether she had electricity or not so I assumed she did.
Sometimes ya don't and have to make do with something else.
Like a generator..
Or a steel drum with a fire going in it and blankets for insulation.

(bull had been stuck in the cold mud for several hrs and I had to keep it warm one cold night last week till I could get the loader over to him and sling him to his feet)

Thanks, Baymule, I needed that. I brewed a fresh pot for anyone else who has been out in the cold today.

A fresh pot has been brewed. Snow, freezing rain and a high of 30 F today, and then highs above freezing for the rest of the week.
