Our fourth night in our new house I woke up to our bedroom ceiling collapsing in a serious storm. Water had apparently entered from an upstairs window, followed the floor into our bedroom. Fast forward:
So I woke up in our two month old house today and the water lines, which I left running, were froze and the heat was down to 56. I put a salamander in the crawl space and after about an hour the pipes started to thaw and water was flowing again. Then my brother started working on the heat pump and my house started to heat up. I was thrilled as we had finally made it threw this horrific cold; what more could I ask for. Finally about 8:00 tonight my house finally reached 69 degrees and I was ecstatic. I decided to go back to the barn to get more wood for the fireplace. While out there my 5 year old daughter came to back door and screamed for me. She said, "mommy needs you and now." So I run inside and there I find my wife in the downstairs bathroom with water pouring down from all walls and the exhaust fan. I then popped upon the access to the upstairs pipes and two had busted... when will it end?! I am seriously close to a nervous breakdown after all of this in two months...
