Greetings,
It was the day before Christmas when all through the house was peace and quiet.
How’s your holiday going so far? Hopefully great . . .
. . . and everything is in full swing and enjoying some quality time with friends and family, good food and exciting festivities.
So far so good here. . . well sort of until the wife and I leisurely woke up this morning and . . .
. . . only to discover we had no water!
I don’t know about you, but here in my neck of the woods, we typically don’t have single digits temps for any length of time. But several days in the single digits is practically unheard of.
But today is different.
According to my weather app, currently it’s sunny and 11 degrees – “feels like 1 degree”.
Sure I could tear into my well and figure out where the freeze is.
Or . . . I could wait it out while the temps slowly warms and thaw the pipes.
Honestly, I am not digging the idea of working outside in these damn cold temps, tinkering on my well system. So, I’m inclined to wait this thing out.
Survival Systems
Luckily we are somewhat prepared. We have a couple of cases of bottle water on hand. Plus, we stashed about 7 or 8 gallons of water for emergencies. Oh course this small supply of water is also frozen and will need to thaw inside the house.
The other good news is we have power – at least for now. But should we lose power, we have a propane fireplace to keep warm and a camp stove to cook some food.
Warm shelter – check.
Food and cook stove – check.
Emergency water – check.
No water from the tap – what a drag.
Yeah, we’re spoiled with all these modern conveniences.
And yeah, we take things for granted.
And suffering through some inconveniences really makes me thankful for all that we depend upon for our day to day living.
