Yeah, I can see how people who have no clue wouldn’t take winter precautions. I’ll bet they do so next year. LOL!
Can hubby’s cousin wear some of his things? Or maybe he wouldn’t even want to. It’s a touchy thing.
one of the first things I checked on before the freeze hit that weekend was those vents. I figured Hubby had already closed the - he had - but I wanted to double-check to be sure. He’d wrapped the pipes several years ago, plus there’s a vent from the central unit blowing air under the house year-round.
The water was turned off at the old house when we moved over here 3 years ago so there were no worries where that was concerned.
The people who bought the house across the road, and still haven’t moved in, had some problems. They’ve been over there almost every day the past couple of weeks, I assume cleaning up. He dug a trench from the end of the house across the yard and to the ditch but I don’t know what he’s draining unless he has a flooded basement and a pump pulling the water out. I met him briefly once and know they’re from CA.
It’s an old house that’s been renovated but they were there to monitor things that weekend.
I kept my eyes on everything around here. Fortunately, everything behaved.
Hubby’s cousin can’t wear the clothes. He’s quite a bit taller than Hubby was.
