re: Extreme cold weather home and garden preparation tips

We have a pier and beam house that is high enough to crouch under. One year my wife didn’t drip the water fast enough and the lines froze while I was hunting. I pulled some water from the river at the house, cranked up the crawfish pot and thawed the lines in about 15 minutes

Also open any cabinet or vanity doors that have plumbing on exterior walls. The closed doors keep the warm air from the room out and increase the odds of those water lines bursting
