Re: Cold!!!
50F and sunny here in Albuquerque. That's our high, the low was about 22F.
I left Chicago (West Suburbs) 27 years ago this month. On my last job I had to hand unload the dump truck (debris) because hydraulic fluid froze. The garbage trucks were all shut down, nothing with hydraulics worked outside. I've made less money in Albuquerque but lived much better. It's a move I've never regretted. |

Re: Cold!!!
My wife sorely would like us to pull up here and move to Albuquerque......then she is 2 hours from her family. I wouldn't mind, but at my age, I don't think I want to start over.

Re: Cold!!!

Re: Cold!!!Quote:
I think you should cut back and pile the tailings on the kitchen table. Be sure to shore and just in case, set a bottle of absinthe next to the opening. If all else fails you can just take a nip now and then and screw calling a plumber. Especially if you and the wife start doing shots. You will both be too happy to care about a silly pipe.

Re: Cold!!!
Well here it is 4:30. Found the pipe broken at 6 am. went and got the parts I needed and repaired the pipe. Turned the water on, nothing the pipe is frozen down in the crawl space. Put a heater on it. While I was under the sink I found a leak in the pipe coming out of the bottom of the sink. Went and got a piece of pipe and some washers. Cut the pipe, cut it too long. Cut it again, still too long. Cut it again, OK. Put it back up in place and the threads on the bottom of the basket fall apart. I have to sawzall the basket strainer out of the sink. Go get the parts. Put it all together and it should work fine. I guess I'll find out if my pipe soldering job works once the line thaws??????
