Good luck!

(Thank you and same. Rumor has it you might know a thing or three about the subject. I hope it's gotten to a state where everything is working at least. Maybe even a mechanical handle backup. etc. It will be all be back together and better.)
Yeah sorry to be grumpy. Got a call last night. Third relative to pass in two months. I'd tried to help him get into a home, get him into a visiting nurse, get to the hospital for a heart situation. He had kept saying no and was offended. Another 4 inches of snow and I'll started with that situation.
Few minutes ago water started flowing. Collecting snow all day was getting passe. The family company who installed the orangeberg sewer pipe was slated to come pull the meter and snake the pressure line to the street this morning, so it was good timing to cancel so he could do his own business.
There is also some type of electrical heating trick using the pipes which was recommended by the city. I think It involves the (+) inside and the (-) at the metal street shutoff. Something like that. Guy mentioned knowing of a house burning down when the homeowner used a welder. With electrical systems using pipes as a ground I can't imagine something not going wrong.
Life gives us tests to do it better. Things fail. Think about everything not working at once.
