Went to my place yesterday and just looked around. No obvious signs of problems but decided not to restart my well and/or check for leaks from busted pipes. I’ll give it another day before I restart the well.

When expecting a nasty freeze, I drain the pipes in the well house, then the pump. Next start a thermostatically controlled heater on low.

Then to the house. I shut off water to the house, blow water lines as good as I can, dip water from toilet bowl and tank, and add windshield anti freeze to toilet bowl and tank plus traps in sinks and tub.

I’ll go tomorrow to actually start the well and look for leaks.

Changed antifreeze in tractor. Didn’t do 4 wheelers that stay in a shipping container.wishing I had.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
