Easy bust

A long term solution might be one of those electric pipe heaters.

a good long term solution for busted water pipes may be to move your pipes to an interior wall, or do like I did and put your woodstove in an addition outside that wall. no frozen or broken pipes since then. love your posts anna and mark
