went out to the cistern this AM to see if the well added any water overnight....hmmm....level is the same as yesterday....

right next to the well is a yard spigot, and it appears to have frozen while they had that exposed a few weeks ago, and i suspect that the line from the well is also blocked by a freeze plug....sigh....so likely no well water until it thaws out...in about March/April.

good thing i have a tank to haul water with.

Having a freeze plug blocking the lines hopefully won't cause anything else to mess up/burn up/freeze up/break!!!

Douglas, is your home insured? Is it time for it to die in a fire?

when they were installing the cistern and rearranging the water lines, for a short period (few days) the underground lines were exposed (trench had to be dug), and it is likely then that the freeze plug happened.

we're not going anywhere.

new roofs, new stucco, new water treatment system, new cistern, renovated guesthouse, working on the main house a room at a time, workshop set up....i'm here until the end.

WAVE 3 Weather


The number of slide offs/accidents is increasing across the region...esp to our west. Pavement temps are reaching 32 and lower so roads will continue to be come slick. It will not take much snow at all to make this dangerous...only a dusting.
