Tess you're probably aware of this, but I'd thought I'd mention.

Keep your taps running, just a drizzel, so your pipes don't freeze and brust (if they haven't already, [crosses fingers]). The moving water will keep them from freezing all the way.

When things warm up, keep your eyes and ears open for any sounds of running water. Burst pipes are a bugger to clean up. Especially in an old house, tearing out lath and plaster UGH, don't even want to think about it.

Fortunately, at this time, we rent. I want my landlord to do some work around here that I have been after him for since June, such as the wiring. Let the pipes burst, not my problem.

Fortunatley for us, I got the oil filled radiant space heaters. In addition to that, our wiring is so upghefuct that our breakers would blow before a fire could start.

aaaah ... techniquely ...... you'd be at fault for not keeping sufficient heat on. Negligence and all.

Sorry, its the underwriter in me.

Stay warm.

Wrong, he was supposed to supply me with 275 gallons of fuel oil before winter and failed to do so despite repeated reminders.

It sounds like it's raining out there...but it's just the ice falling off the branches (prolly some of those, too!) hitting the ice-covered snow underneath. It sounds so cool, and looks really pretty!

...there was a bush completely covered w/ ice blocking the sidewalk i usually take to get to class in the morning, and i'm glad! after that spot, the sidewalk was pretty much one giant puddle!

...and some of the maintainence folks were "bailing" water out from the path near the frequently used crosswalk and the water just kept coming across the road...

spring is gonna be fun! everything is going to be a muddy mess! no more "short cut" up a slope to get to the dining hall faster!

Not sure in your state Seig,

In Michigan these conditions can be considered tactics for forced eviction. You can put your rent money into an account with your name and that of your land lord. YOu have to put your rent money in the account on time. The account requries both of your signatures to remove it. When and if he tries court proceeedings to get his money you can show you have been paying and informing him that the money is available once the conditions of the lease have been meet on his side.

Just some thoughts, to try and see if you can recover the cost of the 200 gallons you already bought or the missing 75 gallons, he did not deliver.

Wishing you and your family warm weather.

I hope it helps

It's always a nice day inside! Mural on my bathroom wall. Too big to fit it all in the picture, but you get the idea.

 

[Chronuss]

is the wall crooked...or is it just the camera operator....:rofl: :rofl:

 

[edhead2000]

That would be me.....
Still learning how to operate my new camera!! Forgive me

And the fact that it's hard to take a picture of because the freaking bathroom is so small.

 

[Chronuss]

...you should save them as Jpeg's...that would cut down on the pixelation.

 

[edhead2000]

I can do that!?!?!? This camera should have come with a guy.......they know all about techno gadgets. haha

 

[Chronuss]

...if you read the instructions...methinks it would help...isn't this ironic...me telling a female to read instructions...:rofl:

 

[TheRustyOne]

bah. my dad always yells at me to read the instructions...i perfer to play around till i figure something out.

 

[Chronuss]

...and why is that guys are always said to never read instructions...sheesh. :shrug:

 

[TheRustyOne]

I think the cold got a power line....which is currently laying across the road...
