Clear and sunny here near Comfort, but still cold, with a BITTERLY cold wind, the kind that bites into your face like razor blades. Little white patches of yesterday's sleet in the shady areas.
Pipes tried to freeze this morning here in Comfort. Still have a bit of work to do in insulating better in the new house.
That PEX plumbing job I did in October is really paying off. Won't have to replace bursted PVC this week.
PEX is great! It really saved me last year. PVC plumbing in houses is awful... but gives plumbers plenty of repair business. My buddy's PVC plumbing in the attic exploded last year... but fortunately he had installed shutoff valve beforehand which he used to keep the damage to a minimum. He has PEX now.
