There was a generator running all day to power a heater so the water thawed. Brett wrapped the pipes in the little bit of insulation he had left and then added towels and rugs. Fingers crossed that the water is still running in the morning.
The weather warmed up today to almost 50 and the snow is starting to melt. Patches of dirt are appearing here and there but we are still covered in snow for the most part. It will be warmer every day through the weekend.
My favorite part of snowfall is the way the trees look immediately afterwards, before the wind and the sun knock the piles of powder off the boughs. What is your favorite part?
yay for water!
ReplyDeleteAnnette, I am so far behind reading... but I want to tell you we have gone through the same thing with our well. We were able to hang a chick light (heat lamp red bulb) in the well house to keep the filter from freezing up. I asked Keith to climb down there three nights ago, I was scared to death of waking up with animals to water and NO water.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad yours is back on... the chick light has worked for us for four years now.
Gorgeous shots. So glad you have water!
ReplyDeleteHallelujah for simple things like running water. Sorry it was such a struggle. All part of getting to know the new place.
ReplyDeleteGood news!
ReplyDeleteApparently you're still in the "shakedown cruise" phase of your beautiful new property. Hoping all utilities / creature comforts are sorted out now. :D
I'm so glad you have at least some of your water problem solved. And those oaks, there are no words, one can just sit here and look and feel one's spirit becoming enriched.
ReplyDeleteOh, your pictures really are beautiful...I just love snow covered trees with blue sky backgrounds. Lovely. Very good news about the water! Hope everything gets resolved. We've warmed up to the mid 40's too, had some freezing rain last night which was not fun, but we're back to normalcy (read mud) today.
