Personally I hate the cold. Lived in Southern Florida and got thoroughly spoiled. the sky never even gets gray. Always bright blue, except for chemtrails... :>) thanks for the good wishes. I remember now about the heated tape.... I just moved in and am pretty much overwhelmed with all the work needed o this house. Much more than I anticipated. It really was a nicely painted dump.... I guess I'll just leave the water running slowly. It's going to be all week. It's a well with an electric pump. Here's hoping I get through this week. There's already a mold problem in the crawl space. It's such a small crawl space. Not sure it is even one foot off the ground. Called some specialists to see what can be done. If I could get under there I would spread poly and close the vents and stick a dehumidified under there. But It looks to me like there needs to some excavation to even do anything under there. The joys of home ownership.Happy New Year...
