Awesome! Glad it worked out for you!

It probably won’t be under the sink unless it’s really cold there, it’ll be further in towards where your hot water tank is.

As far as the waiting goes… maybe? the outside temp will warm up faster than where your plumbing usually is as it shouldn’t be getting much outside airflow to help it warm up, so it may not get much of a chance to warm without assistance. I’m going to assume you don’t have a basement but just a crawlspace under the floor where the pipes are… is there somewhere you can put a fan blowing underneath to help push some heat under there?

If the hot line running to your island runs close to another hot line, running hot water on your other taps may help warm things a bit down there too, but that’s really slow and not a very efficient method.

Fortunately it’s not too cold out down there so it shouldn’t take too much heat to get things flowing, it’s just a matter of finding where the plug is.

Hard to say without seeing your setup (and my first coffee hasn’t hit my bloodstream yet) but ya, it’s probably a frozen spot in the line between your hot water tank and the tap that isn’t working.

It happens to me once or twice every year… I live in Canada in a very old house where the weather has been into the -30c (-22f) lately. Open the tap, and You’ll need to pour some heat on that part of the line where it’s frozen to help it thaw using either a heatgun/ hair dryer or torch. (Careful if you’re using a torch or heatgun to not put too much heat on the plumbing joints where they’re soldered… assuming you have copper lines.) Tapping on the line while putting heat on it helps a bit to break up the ice, but be careful not to hit it too hard.

If it’s in a crawlspace you might be able to stuff a space heater in there and let it warm things up too.

As soon as they think there’s money in it.

I envy those that can just fall asleep whenever they want. It usually takes me an hour or more of laying there to finally bore myself enough to pass out.

A lot of posts are not tagged as a language, so if you picked a specific one in the settings and deselected “undetermined” you won’t see the majority of posts.

Thanks, It’s all pretty frazzled there due to the extra long day I had but it grows pretty fast and doesn’t usually listen to me at the best of times lol… If I remember correctly that was only a week or two of growth since I had last shaved.

Years ago I was working construction on a house and an iron clamp (around 2 or three pounds) under tension with a chain snapped and flew towards me and hit me in the forehead hard enough it spun me ass over tea kettle off of a scaffold where I belly flopped onto concrete about 6 or 7 feet down. I woke up about ten minutes later with paramedics around me laying in a pool of blood. I was air lifted by helicopter to the city around 80 miles away.

I still have a nice 2 inch scar on my head from where it hit, but thankfully I have a nice thick skull and I didn’t get any brian dabblage :)

Recent story but not me. A friend of mine just had his car stolen two days ago. He was going to bed around midnight and heard something outside, so he looked out the window just in time to see his vehicle rounding the corner on the street.

He phoned the RCMP who managed to catch the guy a few miles down the road. The thief had ripped the Sirius radio out of the vehicle but otherwise there didn’t seem to be any damage. My friend and his mom had picked up the vehicle the next morning and was driving home when they heard a loud “pop” and the vehicle caught fire, burning to the ground. (My guess is when the guy ripped out the radio some wires got damaged and shorted out.)

So now he’s scrambling to find a new set of wheels that he can’t really afford to do because he needs it to get back and forth from work which is 16 miles one way. He will eventually get some insurance money for the vehicle, but who knows how much, and that probably won’t be for a little while. In the meantime he’s kind of up the creek without a paddle.

Choke the chicken.

No. A cold is a virus, you won’t catch one by cooling yourself.

What will probably happen is Trump will say a hundred stupid things no-one bats an eye to. Biden will screw up one soundbite and conservative media will twist and beat that dead horse until it get reincarnated.

First computer, Tandy Coco 2 (TRS-80) in 1988 or 89.

First phone (other than a landline) was a Motorola bag phone around 1996(?)

Yup, and this was here in Canada.

In grade 2 I burnt down a shed causing $2000 damage in the 1970’s. (Around $10,000 in todays money)

I was playing in the shed and decided I wanted to build a fireplace… out of wood. (In my defense it was a type of laminate, so I didn’t know it was wood at the time.)

If it’s leaking onto the metal framework it can pool in there and come out wherever it finds a hole or low spot to come out. It’s really hard to say for sure without getting under there and seeing what’s going on.

If it’s not coming from the drip pan, chances are it’s compressor oil. You probably will not want to run it until you can fix the leak and replace the oil that’s leaked out. running it without oil will kill it.

Your two choices would be to call a repair person, or to look up how (and if) you can seal the leak and change the oil yourself.

My kids are grown now so my comment probably isn’t all that relevant anymore, but I don’t think there should be a set age to give your kid a smart phone. Different kids mature and learn at different ages, even ones from the same household.

For my kids, I got them their first phones in their early teens but those phones were somewhat restricted so that we could still communicate easily but we knew they couldn’t get into too much trouble with them. As time progressed the restrictions slowly lifted as we knew we could trust them more to not get into trouble with them.

I’ve always believed it’s not a parents duty to protect their child from the world as much as it is to prepare them for it. Of course kids are going to make stupid decisions if you let them go too far (we all have) so I think it’s more about slowly easing them into things and helping them make the right decisions the best we can.
