Dang, I'm trying to remember how my dad used to unfreeze his water pump but it's not coming to me. Hope it warms up soon so you have water again and hope your sweetie has a good night.

I asked my Dh how to unfreeze a water pump and he wondered where it's located. Here, our pump is buried more than 3 feet underground, well below the frost line. He said it is probably the lines that are frozen. He said you could put straw over the lines and that should keep them warm. He also said you can take a hair blower and warm up the lines but you need to let the water run through the lines or the water will freeze again. He also said you take a 100 watt lightbulb and keep it near the water pump to thaw it out.

 

I'm not sure if any of this will help, you sure don't want a line to burst. Nine inches is a lot of snow, that would hinder us too and we're used to snow.

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

The pump is outside under one of those "fake" rock covers. We had a 100 wt flood light out on the pump area for three hours .. .nothing! We RENT, and it is in the agreement that the landlord has to maintain the well, pump and septic, BUT, NO ONE will be able to get up this road tomorrow. Even our plow guy is stranded. Georgia, mountians or not, NEVER gets this kind of snow.

 

IF I don't have someone here to repair by Tuesday (*supposed to be thawed by then), I get someone and DEDUCT from the rent, plain and simple! :-)

 

Stinks melting snow for drinking water. ... luckily, we can shower at my neighbor's house nextdoor (*where son and GF are staying).

 

Thanks for the ideas!

Dee,

Have you been able to contact the landlord about the pump and plowing? This is nuts. Do you have heat?

Nancy

 

 

Can't reach the landlord. He is an "arsk butt", basically. WE maintain EVERYTHING, including the road (neighbors help, too as it is a PRIVATE road.. ***The ONLY THING we DON'T MAINTAIN are theWell and septics, ... Had to negotiate this way, or we would have had to move, and we do have a lease option on the place.

 

Got a guy coming to TRY to clear road now .... our regular road guy.

 

YIPEE.. Dh just got the water on! Was the points or something, under the house! THANK GOD!! Now, all I need are the stupid Free T4 results on Goldie.

Well, sounds like everything is headed in the right direction anyway. SO glad you have water now!

 

 

MEEE TOOO on the water! It is a real HUGE pain to walk to the neighbor's to shower, HOWEVER, I am grateful for having the use of their home! :-))

 

Miss Goldie seems to be doing ok. She is sleeping now. I just wish I had all her bloodwork back. They LOVE the snow! :colgate Like their Mom, I guess ... heat haters! :-))

Just a thought, keep a trickle of cold water running in the faucet furthest from the intake of he water. We had to do that living at the shore to keep pipes from freezing.

 

Good luck with it all.

Maybe you could call them and see what the status is? Just to make sure it hasn't fallen through the cracks. Hugs and scritches to all.

Great minds think a like! I did call, but they'd already left .... I left a message. Trust me, ... north Georgia is NOT ready for this type of snow, so, I am willing to BET, Dr. Karen, either didn't make it in, OR, she made it in late. I HOPE to hear something tomorrow.

 

Thanks for your kind thoughts! Many hugs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She had another rough time last night, even with Valium and Tramadol ... THAT FREE T4 HAS TO come back today! It has been a WEEK!!

 

She seems fine, other wise ...

 

Hoping DD and GF can get down this hill to the main road, to catch their flt. out of Atlanta ... luckily, it leaves late in the day. BUT, it is cold here now, so I don't expect thawing.

 

Goldie loves the cold! :-))

 

Thanks again for all your kind thoughts! Love, Dee
