It has happened before. We use natural gas and now have a wood stove for back up. We are on city water, but that is no guarantee either, as the infrastructure is getting old. Pipes freeze or just crack from tree roots and old age. Keeping up with everything is exhausting for sure. <br />Good friends are worh their weight in gold. Glad you had someone you could call. <br />Barbbbarnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15399421440007975826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8512022050229968490.post-61555898725979105532014-02-06T19:40:08.648+01:002014-02-06T19:40:08.648+01:00Yes!
