Parts of it were put in by my dad and I, and those are now proven clear. We are running a hosepipe from an unfrozen neighbour into the barn-end feed pipe, which is filling both ends of the house, and so indicates that all pipes up to the (now working) external tap on the corner of the unused cottage on the other side of the yard are clear. That narrows it down to 50 yard stretch as another neighbour tees off the same feed pipe and has water. Digging is looking very unpromising, I made a deep enough hole to hide a small rabbit from a short-sighted fox in 15 minutes of work with a mattock and hot water. Putting a trench across the access road for the farm and 5 houses would be unpopular... Currently temperature is 3.1 degrees and we have a thaw underway, how long that will take to reach the pipes is an interesting question. -- atp "Torque wrenches are for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn how Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) One Node allows customers to consolidate database storage, standardize their database environment, and, should the need arise, upgrade to a full multi-node Oracle RAC database without downtime or disruption http://p.sf.net/sfu/oracle-sfdevnl _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
