Just dont set the floor on fire like my dumb ass cousin did. I prefer the salamander to heat the pipes myself.

If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

However, if you have Faith, then you will endure. For it is in Faith that you will find warmth and comfort.

My Son,
When the going gets tough, the tough get going. Or else they freeze their dick off!
Have Faith!

We came back from a week in Florida and our pipes were frozen from non use. We found out it was from the main feed line out by the street. My city eventually came to our rescue. They had a gasoline driven arc-welder . The y ran the negative ground clamp to the out side faucet ,then touched the positive clamp to the curbside turn off valve . Running a dead short it cleared quickly. They couldnt get to us when we first reported it so they ran a garden hose over the fence to our neighbor water tap to ours. they said let it run about the size of a pencil stream.They also turned of f both meters so he wouldnt get my bill too.
I too have a freezing pipe problem in our crawl space do to the dumb ass previous owner. We turn on the washer to see if water is coming through at the outside walls. I put in heat cables and a space heater that we turn on. we turn on the oven timer for 30 minutes and everything is fine.
We in Michigan are having the worst cold spell in decades. Iam glad to only have to flip a switch. On e really fine jump summer week-ends I,ll crawl under the house and re-route the pipes. If you believe that I've got some really nice ocean view property in Iowa to sell you.
All in all make sure water is still available like with neighbors before assuming its only yours.

Those heaters are AWESOME! We use them at work to keep the shop warm. I know i work in florida but with being a marine contractor and working right on a major river it makes it painfully cold if its windy at the same time..and youa re out working it in. Its nice to have a nice and warm shop to go back to for break and lunch time! Dont get too close to those heaters though. They put out REALLLLLLLLLY hot air REALLLLLLLLLLY fast!
