First winter in my New Brunswick mini-home.
Quite the cold snap happening. Tonight -19C feeling like -27C
Lost water to the kitchen a few days ago. Cold and then hot went.
Hoping the poly-hose piping survives.
Got to crawl under the house and do an inspection.
Still have hot and cold water in the bathroom. It’s next to computer room.

Moved here end of March, this first year is like a shakedown cruise.
Learn the problems, adjust and correct for them in year 2.

Bit of a shock, last power bill went from 90/mth to 190/mth.

Unsure about up in the Great White North, but here in the midwest, we let some water flow on the problem lines.

Had a house with a ‘problem’ bathroom, below 10 F. we let the hot and cold run a bit to prevent freezing.

The water was considerably less expensive than a plumber.
