| In response to Re: new water meter in unfinished basement | |

: Dale, thanks for the suggestion on my claw-foots, I'm looking into it. : This house has been vacant for some years, so the water supply has been shut off. : When the water company came to install a new meter in the basement they laughed at : me and said it would freeze (I'm in Providence) and I should heat the (unfinished) : basement first. I mentioned it seemed silly to heat an unfinished basement and they : laughed at me again. My plumber is unnervingly dissinterested in addressing this issue for me. : I know heating the basement is not the answer, and the only source of heat once inhabited is from : a high efficieny gas furnace in another room in the basement, surely not enough to stop it from : freezing. This is not an uncommon situation, what usually happens? wendi, bud couldn't have told you any better. good luck on your project. Dale |
