If I had a blowtorch I woulda probably ended up lighting my cabinets on fire.

heatgun, or hairdryer will work in most cases..

Go to the hardware store and get some pipe insulation tape or heat tape (electrical tape that you plug in).

You don't have to leave the heat on high while you're away. Set it to like 40 or 50. That way you're not paying huge bills and your pipes won't freeze. I have electric heat, so I know all about high bills.

Set it between 50-60 and you will be fine.

You'd be ok too if you set it to 75. :thumbs-up:

No i read I think in the Daily News this week that in this extreme cold weather, the thermostat should not drop below 60 degrees.

Wait until summer to use the water.
