Crisis averted! It was so freezing here last night that our pipes froze. We had no water at all when we woke up this morning. Good thing we have a water cooler on the counter or I would have been a thirsty pup while Linda was at work. When she got back at 1:00, there was still no water. After 30 minutes on hold with the Water Works people, she was cut off before a live person came on the line. Things looked bleak... but then in walks Taylor, Sarah and Sarah's dad and brother. Tom and Josh are two of the handiest people around. Josh is only 13 and has a complete workshop. He designs and builds custom bookcases, makes dressers and even put down the hardwood floors at his house. Tom knew exactly what to do and fixed the issue in no time at all! He went to the hardware store to by some pipe insulation so it does not happen again tonight. It's crazy cold but I really want to go on a walk today even if it is just tucked inside the -50 below llbean coat. The problem is that Linda's head gets too cold. With all the money we saved on hiring a plumber to fix the pipes, we can get her one of these extra-warm bomber hats!
