New furnace - A Tale of Two Winters

[CaptainHaplo]

Well Neal, if it makes you feel any better - though it didn't cost me 2k, the water froze up here in my home. It has been about 2 weeks of constant 20 degree days and single digit nights. The crawlspace isn't insulated, and it finally had all it could take. I spent about 8 hours yesterday under the house, cutting off the old pipe insulation, removing dead heat tape, then putting new heat tape and insulation back on. Temp under the house - 18 degrees Farenheit.

But water is back on again - thankfully. I have an artesian well as my water source, and the drain line for it froze as well, so the water is coming out the top and has no where to drain, so it hits the surface air and wind - and I have a slowly growing ice rink at the well head. Still, as long as its flowing - I am happy.
