  • I had the exact same situation during Uri in 2021 following 36 hours of no power and dripping faucets, Houston area. Unfortunately I’d only been dripping cold water faucets due to bad advice and not yet understanding the mechanics of the plumbing system. Once I discovered the freeze I opened the faucet fully and once power was restored I set a space heater pointed to the pipes underneath the sink and eventually it started flowing again. No damage but we have pex which are supposed to be more resilient to freezing incidents. Since then I’ve dripped both sides and always treated that area with care in freezes since as that proved that was the weakest link.














  • Ya this is unfortunate but typical of so many kickstarter games. Back around 2011-2012 when kickstarter games were really taking off I backed quite a few. I think I’ve been able to play 2 maybe 3 tops. Lesson learned: it’s just very easy to underestimate time to deliver on lofty promises. Ideas are cheap; execution is what’s insane. Many of these were individuals or tiny groups with little or no real world experience in industry so no experience with project management; it’s really no wonder.
