Burst pipe

So, once the pipes started thawing one sprang a leak. Luckily, it was the pipe leading to the outside faucet. Total cost to replace (with a shorter pipe) was under $3 and didn't require digging or taking a lot of pipes apart, just a couple.

Also found the sewage line qas clogged again. I don't have a pipe snake, so tried using the water hose. Didn't work. Had some fencing wire in the shed. Tried that and it worked.

Took another major step toward being the crazy neighbor. While considering digging up the garden, figured out the old fashioned way would be best. The trick was keeping things low and short enough to avoid the fire department being called. Raked, watered the area surrounding the garden. Grabbed the gas can and scattered gas over about 600 sq ft. Then lit it up. Just as the neighbors pulled into their yard. Lol! Quite a sight with all 600 sq ft lighting up at once at sunset! The fire only lasted 3-5 minutes before I put the rest out. Should be easier to dig the rest up now.

Other than that, picked up some books on building solar and wind generators and repairing electric motors from the library. Do some needed studying.

Made an attempt at gluten free brownies. They're still cooling but seem okay so far. Hope they remain so!
