High ratio stuff falling right now and I lost another degree and down to 15. I'm honestly surprised with both. I figured my yard would underperform in both categories. Snow growth at the beginning was terrible. I think salt has a higher ratio lol. 13 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nw baltimore wx Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 On topic, I've never seen so much salt on the roads as I did tonight in the city. Off topic, the attic pipes that froze are over my laundry room. It's been a problem since I put on the addition over 20 years ago. Putting water pipes in a wall between the house and garage is against code, so we were forced by the inspector to run them up a narrow wall for a closet, into the attic about 6" from the eaves of the steeply pitched roof. Makes complete sense since the pipes go into an attic on the north side of the house that doesn't get sunlight from December to March, and where it's 15 degrees now, while my well insulated south facing garage is a balmy 43. I built a coffin around the pipes in the attic by insulating the rafters with foam board and topping with R-stupid high insulation, and even cut a vent into the ceiling of my laundry room into the coffin so heat from that room would heat the coffin. Still, the cold line froze. So my solution is that I have a kerosene heater in the laundry room now to hopefully really get some hot air in the coffin with the pipes. This is either going to work, or the paint is coming off the walls. Not sure why it's sideways. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when does someone from the county inspection team come to fix/repair if the pipes go? Yeah, exactly what I thought. Hope you get them to reopen and not burst!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the reason for codes, but there has to be some common sense involved. But thanks. I'm not overly worked up over it. I am pretty sure that I turned off the water to that part of the house before any pipes were damaged, and I still have the bathroom in the original 1941 structure to use because it never freezes. It's just the newer part. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
