I took full advantage of the warm weather over the New Year's weekend to frame the ends of my tunnel house.

Nice and I need to get some of that pipe heating tape too - to keep my pipes from freezing. Had the cold water inlet to the water heater freeze over that cold spell we had.

Busted pipes are no fun. Fixing busted pipes when it’s cold outside is even less fun.

A quick solution to keeping pipes open is to hang a 100 watt incandescent light bulb in the space where the pipes might freeze.

The heat tapes work better in a crawl space type situation where there’s a large open space the pipes run through.
