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".

My house down here in Indianapolis on a concrete slab but I'd like to learn more about those anti-freeze outdoor faucets, right?

Hose spigots, hot tempered and all that...

There's no spigots like hose spigots like no spigots I know...

You should've been been here this summer when I was getting my PhD in toilets. My wife was really miffed about the line of potties I had set up in front of my shop for testing.

Lend me $22 billion dollars and I think I can set up a publishing company that deals exclusively with spigonometry.

$22 billion? That's so 90s. I just got a $2 trillion grant to study the effects of dryer lint & elevated humidity on stuff kept in garages.

Wanna take a wild-ass guess as to what my preliminary findings are four dollars into the study?
