So we just sat down and tried to come up with something to talk about and we had a nice little discussion and then we pretty much just wrapped it up.

0:08.0

Yeah, this is the episode. This is the episode. We had a great episode everybody that you didn't hear.

0:13.0

Just kidding. Let's try and recreate it.

0:16.0

Yeah, welcome. How's everybody doing?

0:19.0

Welcome. It's spring. Spring is coming.

0:22.0

I start worrying about my pipes freezing.

0:25.0

I start, like, it's funny because there's that little, like, I have to keep the pellets still going.

0:31.0

Like, as if I don't keep the pellets still going, that section of the house is going to sink into the ocean.

0:36.0

And as soon as it started saying, like, above 45 degrees on a pretty consistent basis, about 10, 10 days ago, I say, well, I know it's not going to go sub zero anymore.

0:48.0

So the whole section of the house, when you go through this one door, like you walk into that section of the house, it's like you're stepping into the backyard.

0:54.0

It's that cold. But so I don't keep the pellets still on. And so yesterday on a whim, we had this one loop.

1:01.0

I know I keep joking. I'll all went to long about having a frozen pipe, but there's this one loop that goes along the dining room wall and then into that one sort of, it's, it's like a pause side.

1:13.0

Like, a set of whole colonial, you have two living rooms, the left and the right. So when the center, whole colonial house of mine, the living room when you walk in is on the left side.

1:23.0

So that's that same heating loop. And I just had it turned off because it wasn't heating anyway. And I knew somewhere there was a break.

1:31.0

I couldn't figure out where it was because it was always frozen. So I was just had a way to a thought. So yesterday on a whim, I said, the tail, I said, I'm going to just see if that blockage was just frozen water and not necessarily.

1:42.0

No break. And I turned it on and I run upstairs and I look in the whole dining room is filling with water. I was like, nope, there's a break. And I go running down stairs and I shut that loop off.

1:53.0

And I kind of got a clue where the break was. And it looks like somebody put a stick a dynamite in this pipe. Not only is it like crack and split, but it is peeled back.

2:04.0

It's like when it can splits from being frozen like a soda can. And you just see like a little football crack in it, which is typically what happens or a joint, well, this is dismantle.

2:15.0

This pipe is like broken and peeled back. Like, how does that happen? The ice is just like, I'm not going to stop. I'm just going to keep expanding and pushing.

2:25.0

So it's like peeled back and it looks, it looks like it was an explosive in the pipe. So I wonder if the pressure was so much that it just went pop and like allowed it to like peel, peel back.

2:36.0

You know, it would have been like an audible thing, which of course I'd never heard. So, but now I don't care. Have that loop turned off. It doesn't matter. No pellets. No, it doesn't matter. It's only going towards the woods.

2:48.0

Does it make a sound?
