great going!!! so is getting that hot water tank and those pipes insulated next on your to-do list? it's unseasonably hot where I live but I know we could see the white stuff falling from the sky by end of next month so we are on a mission to take advantage of some upcoming cooler weather to 'get er done' on our annual winterizing projects.

comicguy i've thought about you over the past couple of weeks. we got our first freezes of the year (and snow on the mountains we can see from our backyard). have you insulated those pipes yet???? we ended up bumping our sprinkler blow-out ahead by 2 weeks and will be putting on the outdoor faucet covers soon.
