The Green Snake..
We have a green garden hose running from the back of the house, where the laundry room is, to the front of the house into the kitchen!!! My brilliant and creative Terry came up with this solution to the issue of a frozen pipe, beneath the house!!! It was absolutely impossible for him to deal with this issue, the ground where the pipe is has frozen solid, due to very cold temps and winds blowing in just the right direction! We had been without water in the kitchen for 4-5 days, and it was getting pretty dire in there....i managed to sort of keep on top of things by lugging a few pots of hot water from the downstairs bathroom.
So now we have running water once more in the kitchen. This friendly snake will now be part of our decor till the spring thaw! Not so bad really, Terry is building a little wooden ramp thing to cover it up, glad i got this image before he did that!
In other news, damn cold and windy out there, so another inside day. Starting doing a 25-30 minute routine of brisk walking/dancing, throughout the kitchen and living room, luckily we have a pretty unencumbered track ..... so i put on some good music, in my new nifty bluetooth headphones and boogie away. Feels great. Terry has started doing it also and he is practicing his Spanish, beats having a treadmill or whatever in the house, and much preferred to having to get all kitted up to deal with ice and snow and slush!!!
