But – But . . . I DO Believe in Faeries!

Believing in faeries that will come unfreeze my water line, apparently doesn’t mean that they believe in my frozen water line.

I have been getting the miniscule amount of water coming through the line – a drip every couple hours – which can be enough to get things flowing… but not this time.

I went and dug out the excess hatch to the crawl space under the house – first a path through two foot drifts to get ther then removing the three foot drift around it, so I had room to wriggle in and, hopefully, out again.

I will, a few more ounces of coffee from now, combat crawl under the house and across it’s width to reach what is most likely the problem area, flash light on my head, propane torch in my hand, hope in my heart.

I will crawl out with same…plus sore muscles from my neck to my toes.

But maybe, just maybe, it will work and tonight I can soak those sore muscles in a long, hot bath.

I believe in long hot baths too!
