"Water pipe Prayer"
.. 6:26-am, Tuesday, March 27, and the WeirsCam says it is 22-degrees. Here in Waterville Valley, my thermometer says it is 17-degrees..........ouchey-ouch-ouch......took the precaution yesterday to drain out the 40-gal pressure tank and open all the faucets, and put rv antifreeze in the bathtub drain trap that is under the cottage.......please........all Forum Members.......come together and pray for my poor, helpless, poverty-struck lil' water pipes! Oh lordy, lordy, lord.....please do not let it freeze up and get all cracked up in some totally inaccessible spot inside a wall somewhere! .......brothers and sisters......down & out......from that poor Walmart side of the lake .....let us all come together and pray for my poor 1/2" external diameter, copper water pipes..........amen! ..
Whatever you do, do not call a plumber.....just go get about 25-dollars worth of propane torch, soldier,flux, wire brush and tiny tubing cutter and fix-it-yourself!
Licensed plumber price - $400
Do-it-yourself price - $40
And, it's not all that difficult to make the fix.
Think I'll go take a walk.....watch the sun come up......and enjoy what could be the last blast of winter.........yeeeehawwwwwww!!!
