That was me this morning. I knew my house has an issue with pipes freezing, I knew it was going down to -30c (-22f) with a -40 windchill last night here, yet for some boneheaded reason I never bothered to put a space heater in the area where the pipes freeze.
So I got to swear at myself this morning for a half hour while I was running around with a propane torch in my basement to thaw the lines out so I could flush the toilet and make coffee.
One good thing with being an idiot is you get to learn how to fix things at least, so there’s that…

Nope. It was business as usual, until it wasn’t.

Worst part is it’s easy to toss a heater in that spot the pipes like to freeze, there’s a plug 2 feet away.
I just like to tempt the gods I guess…
