Space heaters (heaters from space!) and a hairdryer has us back in the 20th Century, no evidence of pipe damage
@bikepedantic Once when I was young an external pipe burst at our next door neighbor’s house which was a bit up hill from ours. Our entire front yard was ice with a huge ice hump from his house to our yard. We ice skated on the flat section.
@bikepedantic I grew up in a house with a dirt floor cellar only accessible from outside, not a basement. Keeping a space heater by the kitchen sick and using a hair dryer under the dishwasher was a regular winter day. Do you keep water dripping from a faucet when it dips below freezing? That’s what we were always told to do.
