Water, please!

We lived for 3.5 years in the far, north frozen tundra of Wisconsin and never had problems with pipes freezing. I think the middle of nowhere town of Cactus, TX could take a lesson from Wisconsin in keeping pipes from freezing (and in clearing snow-packed streets, but that's for another post). Granted, it's probably because we live in a mobile home, which is a whole new adventure for us, but we've now had frozen pipes twice in the past week. The first resulted in a break at the street-side of things and today, we learned that if you pour scalding hot water in the water meter box, the pipes will thaw and you'll have running water again. Makes no logical sense to me, but it worked! Ah, the lessons we've learned from living in a mobile home in the middle of nowhere!

Now, to help Vito clean the bathroom which is now somehow flooded since the water has come back on.

The life of a missionary!
