1. You don't live in the south...You are a hillbilly and you know it
:D

btw, my water is frozen too. It froze before I could get home from work tonight. I forgot to cut the heat line on to the well. I am such a dumb ass. I cut of the electricity to the water heater. I am good, right?

3. I turned on the faucet in the bathtub. Of course, I have some bottled
water. You know, as in bottles of water that I have previously filled with water from my well :D

I never have had a burst pipe, yet *fingers crossed after knocking on wood*

4. I've never understood why all water lines aren't insulated.
Because in the summer here, the cold water is 85F! :o

5. It's mostly bad construction I think
Mine freezes between the well and the house. They didn't bury the line deep enough. It's not this cold too often fortunately.

85 degree cold water would be insane! hehe

G'night :)

:hi:
