I guess I have got to say it "don't you just hate it when that happens"0 -
The heat system would never have frozen
if it were steam. That's one of the things I like about steam heat. Now, the water pipes might freeze, but it's a whole lot easier and more comfortable to fix them if you can start up the heat system right away.

I'll bet Holohan
Could make a 10 minute funny training sequence just on this picture. Now I'm thinking did I really turn off the pump circuit at my place in Cable (NW Wisc)? Great picture, the insurance mans nightmare.0 -
At least they are AAA approved. Wonder what they would do "Yes, I need a man to come out. I seem to be stuck in the ice."0 -
Believe that the claim would be denied by many/most insurance policies!
While damage from a "sudden and catastrophic" leak is usually covered it must been discovered RAPIDLY and if the HO was away for an extended period, it will likely be denied.0 -
I hope they have another car , these dont look like they'll be moving till spring thaw!0 -
I hope they had remote starters installed.
