Wednesday
We have been hit again with unusually frigid temperatures accompanied by sleet. It's already accumulating on my front porch which means it's also on the roads. I had figured to go into town Thursday early enough to finish getting my truck road legal, but if this keeps up over night, I'll be stuck at home. Oh, to be on the warm sands of punta cana and far away from all this cold weather!
Either my son-in-law or a friend was going to take me to Big Town to get it assessed and pay the property tax on it. However, neither will want to venture far from their homes if this keeps up.
Well, at least my water is thawed again and it's running. A hot shower felt wonderful after having a frozen pipe for two days. It was frozen at the well house so the heat lamp son-in-law put in did the trick. There doesn't seem to be a leak in any of the pipes. However, I came home today to a flooded bathroom floor.
See, the tub drain was also frozen so when the water started flowing again, it overflowed into the floor before I got back from town. I got it all dried up in the bathroom and set a fan in the hall to dry that floor. It doesn't seem to have gone much further than that, thankfully. However, I used all my dirty laundry plus some sheets from the closet to sop it all up, so now I have lot of heavy, wet clothes to deal with!
Update (Monday): I did get to go to Big Town and got my truck all road legal now! Yay!
