For many, things have settled down since the cold spell. Repairs have been made or continue. Everyone’s watching to see which plants will survive. Zack had helped a neighbor insulate his pool pump before the storm. Happily, the pump moved water during those deep freeze days and avoided damage. Zack repaired water lines to the troughs and helped another neighbor with a bad, outdoor leak. Turning off water to her home and property wasn’t a good option. A small concrete pad needed to be broken up, possibly damaging additional, adjoining pipes. Although he might have tried it here, this was beyond Zack’s comfort zone on someone else’s property. We weren’t optimistic that she’d find a plumber quickly, so Zack created a temporary compression sleeve that diminished and redirected the giant spray from the leak, allowing her to have water in the house.
