On Sunday I got up at 7 a.m. as I could not sleep. Everything was fine but when Jake got up around or before 9 a.m. we were without water. So then began the process (slow) of heating snow to melt water to thaw the pipes which were frozen in the pumphouse. It took nearly 3 hours to get this done. It was extreme cold and wind outside. Sandy and I still have our colds.
The three pictures show the snow in the pan as it came in, in the pot(s) on the stove, and the bucket where we poured the hot or boiling water. We also had pots in the oven. Steps have not been taken to up the heat in the pumphouse to prevent another such diaster. It was our 2nd water calamity in 2 days a a pipe connected together with rubber hose gave way on Saturday. Thankfully I was right in the kitchen so we were right on it. But still a mess. Jake was able to repair it.
