frozen pipes

[juldea]

Diagnosis: the heat from the furnace to my house having been turned off, the pipes were allowed to sit in the cold and hence froze over (I don't understand the process involved that would have the gas-heat pipes freeze, since it was just those and not the hot water which is working fine, but I accept that it sounds reasonable.) Efforts are being made to unfreeze these pipes, and in the meantime I'm stuck huddled around space heaters.

Oh, for extra fun: I had one space heater of my own, but I borrowed another from hakamadare and chaiya. Of course it made sense to me to plug it into the same outlet as my computer, and flipped a breaker. ;) That has since been fixed and extension cords are being utilized to spread the power usage out over different circuits in the apartment.

Heh. Whee.

Like I said, I didn't actually get frustrated in this case - but I noticed that I felt a little bit of, "Duh, I know that, silly!" Also, I don't even feel that I can really defend this reaction I have, considering I'm aware that people have differing spheres and levels of knowledge and you have no way to really know which I have where. So no worries and no need to apologize, I'm not actually bothered! (Well, by this, at least.) :)

Glad to hear that my idea that I had worked out this morning of how the heat works was in fact the right idea. Score one for me!
