A great Valentine’s home-made Dinner Sunday resulted in a clean-up Monday morning. With frozen pipes in kitchen sink – they turned to the bathtub! Help from one pup – other one no interest! It’s amazing what you can accomplish when you have to!

49 degrees in the house in Euless. We had an outdoor pipe burst that we didn’t even know we had, which forced us to turn off the water for a few hours until someone was able to come out to help us. This has been a total nightmare. What’s crazy is the apartment complex literally on the other side of the street has power!
