Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / January 2005Frozen pipes
When I tried to use the water this morning, there was nothing there. I thawed a section of pipe that I believed was sufficiently insulated (burned my hand in the process), and it has a huge leak. So much for my new plumbing, and it's back to hauling water from Gloria's well all winter long! Guess I didn't already have enough of a headache.... > When I tried to use the water this morning, there was nothing there.

I wish there was something I could do. Sending purrs and birdy chirps your way. Jill Purrs and hugs,  SignaturePolonca & Soncek > When I tried to use the water this morning, there was nothing there.

All I can do is send purrs your way that things get better for you, and soon! Ginger-lyn > When I tried to use the water this morning, there was nothing there.

First of all my plan was to thaw it with a blow lamp. Which worked, sort of, but I got a burst like you. After that I thawed the pipes with a hairdryer, takes for ever but didn't have a burst pipe. Hoping you can get your plumbing repaired and don't have to haul water from the well all winter. (hugs) to Pat It isn't as if you didn't have enough to put up with, without that.

My mother was trying to thaw a frozen pipe with a candle -- she set her sweater on fire. Fortunately she got it off fast and only singed her hair and eyebrows and a minor burn on face and hands. Purrs for your wellbeing. MLB > Reminds me of a time when I was a teenager. My mother was trying to thaw > a frozen pipe with a candle -- she set her sweater on fire.

I have it all fixed now except the tub. Still trying to bring up the courage to tackle that one! >> Reminds me of a time when I was a teenager.

Havn't you got some friends who are good with plumbing and can help you out? I spent the morning rebuilding a toilet (no sh.t!) for a couple friends of mine. Mom and daughter are both working, and the daughter's husband is handicapped, and can't work. I charged them two hugs, she did tip me ten bucks, which covered my gas. They bought the parts. I know.... I'm too nice, and let folsk off too easy. Baha can vouch for that. SignatureChristopher A.

I'll be able to repair the pipe myself when we get a warm enough day for the glue to set right. Kittens!! A lovely surprise this morning, Annabell, a blue oriental long hair had her kittens early this morning!! She had just had the last one when I came in. There are 6, 3 pointed ones, and 3 Orientals. The colours of the pointed ones remain a mystery for weeks, but the Orientals are born the colour they remain, 2 blues and 1 lilac. I have not attempted to sex them yet, I don't want to disturb the mother, she has not been a very good mother in the past. She has settled down with them, all cuddled up with her, purring away, lets hope for the best. Purrs for the kittens please, that she will take care of them this time. She will be spayed if she fails to be a good mother with this litter. Marie from OZ >> Where are you?

Unless there is something wrong, cats are usually the best mothers in the animal kingdom. Hugs, CatNipped >Kittens!!
