Hello March? I guess that -18f on Friday started something bad. Water pipe froze (again) this time the cold water line

With no heat coming from mother nature for a week looks like I got 3 choices.

1- Dish out cash to the plumber again.
2- Crawl my butt under there with a very long electric cord and hair dryer. (which was the recommendation of the plumber if it happened again).
3- (My idea) Crawl my butt under there and place my big or little buddy heater by the pipe and hope I don't burn the house down

All options involve removal of a lot of frozen snow to gain access

option 3 was quickly eliminated, not safe.
option 2 failed
option 1 Thankfully, He redirected my actions and another attempt made at option 2

Success! Thank God I lost 60 pounds, the entry door was really small

Also, added insulation to the trouble area.

Now if I can just get my driveway dug out I can savage my plans for today.

Watch that first step! Looking at the weather map looks like snow's on the way for you but should blow thru by noon or so.

Well it was disabled while they are working on it. So it is not automatically changing the system status. Apparently everyone did not get the word that they have to manually update off the message temporarily. Sorry gang.
