It Really Matters #1: Freeze Out 2014

I live in a very old house with that I affectionately say is slightly insulated. I love my house. It is quirky and old and interesting, but it is less than energy efficient.

(Not my house. Found this pic here.)

My gracious landlord installed a brand new air conditioner and a brand new hot water heater prior to our occupancy of the the home, but it still has been hard for said machines to keep up with Oklahoma's, shall I say, moody weather. (We had some issues in the summer). 

Ooooh, nice shot! Courtesy of whoever this is.

A few weeks ago, when the temperature dropped to a balmy 6 degrees around here, our hot water froze up. I was not there, but I can't guarantee I would have thought to keep the water dripping if I had been there. It doesn't appear our hot water pipe has burst, but you can bet that I'll be letting the water drip this week. It's getting cold again 'round these parts! 


Cool pic, eh, Baby? From here.
