Pipes

So I forgot to post anything about our water pipes. When we have our wood stove going the other, forced air, heater does not come on. Part of the force air is directed into the crawl space so the water pipes do not freeze. To counter that, I installed heat tape on the pipes, supposedly it is good to 40 below. Last Saturday it all went wrong. We got back from church and Kari was outside and heard something funny. She went to the pump house and heard water spraying out of the pipes with great force. She yelled at me to go check it out. I panicked. We eventually got the pump and pressure tank turned off and opened up all the faucets in the house. By that time there was about four feet of water under our house. This was about 9pm. We got ahold of a company that could pump out the water and fix the pipes. They were currently at a job site and said it would be a couple of hours. They eventually came by about 1am. By about 3am they were finished. All for only $650.00! Anyway, this weekend I put new heat tape on and re-insulated the pipes. God willing we will not have that problem again. Today was the first day of using the wood stove again.
