it's cloudy with no sun to warm us up. the high predicted today is 35. currently it's 26 degrees (feels like 17). could be hours before the pipes unfreeze. i'm going nuts already.

In texas your water supply and meter are on the outside of the house, above ground?

Must be nice to be that certain it would never get cold enough to freeze.

If this is really the case, then some standard plumbing heat wrap would do the trick to thaw it now and keep it from freezing again in the future. Most of the heat wrap kits have a built in thermostat in the plug so that it only comes on when temps dip below 35 degrees.

I'm not sure if you'll be able to get one locally though, since pipes never freeze in Texas. :P

However, I'd try calling hardware stores, just in case.

Some of the pictures I've seen of southern water meters are like a plastic box in the ground with the top of the box flush with the ground. Access to the meter is by removing the top of the box.

You certainly wouldn't get by with that here in NE Indiana.

my supply line is no more than 16 inches under ground at the deepest which is next to the house and less than 6 at the meter. there is about 20 inches of the supply line exposed to air before it goes into the wall and up to the attic. heck even out main breakers are outside here.

It used to be that the frostline here in Fort Wayne was three feet. I'm thinkin' that with all this global warming, 42" should be the new minimum. Maybe 48".

I grew up in Iowa there the code was 48 inches minimum and the meter was inside. but hey there were times I'd have to dig 8 feet down in the snow to oil the windmill.

You know what's screwed up?

All that shit is done now by Govt union workers.

You ever stare those fucks straight in the eye?

It's funny, they get all cross-eyed and crazy.

some years back (30 or so) my dad was doing something with a house he owned, any way he had installed a precast cement stair for the front porch. as the V.A. was involved they sent an inspector to check stuff, the guy measured the height of the top stair from the ground and said because it was 1/2 inch higher than code it required a railing. so my dad kicks some dirt into the corner where the measurement was taken and said measure it again, that completed the inspection with no railing ever being installed.
