40 Frozen pipes and Rats - Happy New Year!

On this episode Alicia tells of her woes during the freeze we experienced in Seattle over the holidays.

Not only were there frozen pipes to contend with there was also a mystery of where was the water actually frozen. She found shut off valves that were useless and realized she didn’t really know her home. Pipe heaters plugged into several extension cords were discovered but Alicia was left wondering if the heaters really worked.

Then came the furry visitors that found comfort in the warmth of Alicia’s living room. She shares the advice she received from the clerk at the local hardware store on what to do and not do when dealing with a rat infestation.

Alicia stresses the benefit of knowing the systems in your home how they work. She also encourages everyone to perform the seasonal maintenance that we frequently talk about on this podcast so that you won’t have to deal with the woes she just experienced.

Moral of the story. Learn about your house. And do your maintenance.
