pipes, and other freezing things:) Re: winter is BAAAACK!

[Guest guest]

We don't do heat wraps for the pipes either. We are off grid so can't run electric heating appliances or items anyway but also the danger of fire prevents our using such things. We are so far out that we can't depend on the fire department getting to our house in less than a half hour so we are very careful. Our local senior center had a fire on New Years Eve caused by the heat wraps for the pipes. We have our pipes covered pretty well but they aren't as deep as your pipes, . Unfortunately! Because when it is real cold we do have frozen pipes at the well and sometimes the pipes into the house. When it's below 15 degrees I always leave the water trickling. I also have emergency jugs of water filled up "just in case".

() Running water was an afterthought here, and whoever installed it kept allthe piping to one tiny area - a radiator in the laundry room and leaving thewater trickling in the kitchen (the far end of the pipes!) keeps everythinggoing unless wind chills get close to -70 or so... the outside pipes areburied more than 8 feet deep.
