I wrapped both faucets in a big llbean wool sock, and running the warm water in the laundry room. Crossing fingers [/quote] What is the point of running water in the laundry room? Is that some kind of superstition? [/quote] That keeps your pipes from freezing inside the house and avoid a flood. The expansion scenario. OP might have a broken pipe if he/she dont trickle the outside tap. I live in the cold. [/quote] This... trickle the outside tap, more than a drip, like a cup every 2 mins. No point wasting warm water inside house. [/quote] Sometimes when I pee it trickles and I think theres more than 2 cups a minute. :1dunno1: [/quote] Don't force the pee. Let it happen naturally [/quote] Then it takes 5 minutes. [/quote]

No busted pipes yet. It's getting very cold tonight.
Q. To make it through the night I remember reading in a pinch to run the hot water lightly overnight in the laundry room. Is that correct?
Any tips if it's to make it 1 extra night before you bleed the faucets?
