After the events of the past couple of weeks I think it would be a smart thing to rethink if your home is prepared for future weather events.
There is many that believe in climate chance, many don't but seems as though "the times, they are a changing."
Many of the so called experts say these radical weather events will be more frequent and radical. Did we just get a taste of it?
Might be a good idea to think of ways to make your home a safer for these events. Especially if you have to make repairs for any reason.
Frozen pipes are a BIG problem, make so you can drain them as much as possible if you get ANOTHER cold event. Outdoor lines should be separate and have a shut & drain.
Up here in northern country that is the way it has to be. My house I can go to the basement and drain the whole water system in just a few minutes if need be.
I have a whole house generator, I also have a small portable one for back up.
Many call this event a "hundred year event" so the next hundred year cycle starts now, will the next cold event hit a hundred years from now or next winter?
Many of us on this forum think nothing of spending thousands of dollars on guns & related equipment but will fail to spend some money to make our home safer.
