RE: Brrrrr -- It's cold!
Ouch; burst pipes are the worst! The drain from our main tub/shower froze up yesterday morning and I had to set up a heater in our tuck-under garage to thaw them and drain the tub, but nothing burst.
I'm glad nothing burst! It's pretty awful, but if you ever have to deal with a burst pipe there is a new product called "pex" it's like pvc but designed for high pressure and high temperatures it pairs with these new connections called "Sharkbite Connector" It's really quite amazing stuff and makes repairing a pipe a breeze no soldering, just cut out the burst section, cut a piece of pex pipe and connect, seals perfectly once clicked into place.
