    Oh, goodness.  It must be freezing!!   Still hoping you get water soon, especially since you have young children!

     Well, BF is under the house now with a heat gun.  He uncovered a big piece of ice surrounding the only part of the pipe that was still insulated.  Our next step is to burn the house down and move....

    Oh Candace, that's terrible!  Hopefully BF will be able to thaw the pipes.

    Sending pipe thawing vibes your direction.

    OMG!  That sucks Candace.  I have had my pipes freeze before and it is a real pain.  It sounds like the water might be frozen in the pipe that brings it out of the ground.  Good luck getting it thawed and I'd have BF wrap the pipes with heat tape this summer!

    The pipes ARE wrapped in heat tape!  I do suspect its frozen into the ground.  The Kerosene heater is back on it, though we're running Deisel in it for now as that is cheaper.  If anything is going to thaw it, that will.  The rest of the pipe was heated through with a propane torch and its fine.  So the freeze must be underground.  Sigh... I'm off to my mom's now for a shower.  Thanks for the good thoughts everyone.  Keep em coming if you please.
