This Old House

January 22, 2011

Welcome to the joys of old home ownership :-|

It’s no mystery that it has been a rough winter across the country. Now, we’re dealing with below-zero cold weather here in Wisco.

Super cold temps = frozen pipes. Boo :-(

No water

Not all of the pipes are frozen, just the cold water in our upstairs bathroom. Everything downstairs is good, and the hot water in the upstairs sink is fine.

Unfortunately, a blowtorch to the pipe in our ultra-cold basement and again right under the sink did nothing. Last resort: cut a hole in the wall of our newly finished bathroom to access the pipe there.

Well, the bathroom was done…

Heat it up!

None of this stopped us from going out for fish. But we were in for a surprise there too…

Jason and I were becoming regulars at the Moose Creek Bar & Grille. We made the 30 minute drive over there tonight only to find a completely dark building with a sign on the door. They closed and moved over to their sister restaurant, the Sugar Creek Inn.

Sugar Creek is a much smaller place, and we were crammed in like sardines. The fish wasn’t as good, so I’m not sure what we’ll do next week. We’re back on the hunt for a regular fish fry.

Not all was sad today, though. Here’s what I got to look at during my workout…

What a couple of hams.
