re: preventing freezing pipes

This post in a H&G Board thread by Gumpland Tiger, who owns a water restoration company, from a couple years back was very thorough in the steps one should take to minimize/prevent freezing pipes. I bookmarked b/c it was so detailed. LINK

Another thing in one can do in addition to dripping faucets, is to let your dishwasher run during the night, say 2-4 am, to keep water moving through pipes for a couple hours - most dishwashers have a time delay of , 2, 4 , 8, … hours.
