No, no, no, in the Slimick household you can use a hairdryer to unfreeze your kitchen sink pipes! I should say pipe, singular, because only the cold water pipe froze, so all day long we could use the hot, warm, and luke warm, but the minute we turned the faucet past the halfway mark into the "cold" area BAM nothing. So after dinner Neal used my hairdryer to unfreeze the pipe and he had a little helper. It took a little bit, but after about a half hour of hairdrying the pipe we now have cold water again in the kitchen. HOORAY! Note to Slimicks: When it gets into the teens alway leave faucet dripping! Ooops.

ReplyDeleteOur pipes froze in the kitchen, too! After 2 hours with a hairdryer, Joel quit and thankfully there was no flooding when it defrosted. We are also now in the habit of leaving the faucet dripping at night...
