the guy that looks out for you up there should have turned a trickle on that pipe 

this happened at my father's house, snow covered the furnace vent and caused the furnace to not run, flooded the basement

luckily, insurance covered it

Oh, and it gets better. Starting tonight, we're getting 8-10" on top of the 15 we have on the ground. Need some warming. Even the heated patio has snow cover on it. That is not supposed to happen.

he was actually headed out there to turn a trickle on- said he thought the cleaning crew would have but he was going to go check... it could have been worse- the folks coming in on wed could have discovered it instead. 

me being a tinkerer, i've already designed a counter to this on paper.  it consists of a normally closed 9vdc solenoid valve, and a timer with a 30 second window of charge.  I'll dial it to thirty seconds every x hours, perhaps one hour when it's cold and six or so in the warm months.  I've figured it to mount under a toilets lid and intercepting the water supply- T'ing the toilets tower and the device.  

placing it in a toilet keeps water flowing between both the intake and the drains- keeping them from freezing in the winter and keeping them from holding stagnant water in the warm months.  

damn, I'm smart.

Brrr.


Looking at a high of -12 on Wednesday here in ChiArtic, with an overnight low of -19.


Both would break records. Man, I gotta move. This sucks.
Got to almost 80 here today.

Ha, now that's salt in Badge's wounds. I really do enjoy the most bitterly cold weather (actually have eyes on Greenland and Antarctica, but will probably take more than a decade until I knock both out, and that doesn't count my hunger to crampon my way up some icy summits in the next 2 years). But I still have the gift of age and health. Both are fleeting, so I need to say "for now." Lose even one of those, and hyper-cold days won't be OK for me, either. I'll be in the southwest like my parents this time of year (hopping between San Diego, Havasu and Vegas).

It's chilly here this morning (32°F) but brilliantly sunny.  Our kitchen demo is slated to start today, hopefully.

The wife is managing this but the contractor has been a little lacking in clear communications from what I can discern.

For us, the milder winters are a HUGE plus here versus Cincy while the longer summers were not a problem for us last year at all.  It gets just as hot in Cincy and probably more humid, but it doesn't last as long.

The workers have arrived to redo the kitchen.  Surprisingly, the two guys are from South Africa.

I have not looked into the kitchen, it's shrouded with plastic, but they are making some serious noise, tearing out cabinets and counter top (which is a rather nice granite but the wife didn't like it).  

We're also having stone put on one of our decks, the middle floor deck, which should be nice.  It's raw concrete right now.
