Dean, How old is your tv? It is my understanding that if you have an HDTV with a digital tuner (ATSC) you can still just use the same antenna. But if your tv is older, it may be analog....and then you need the "converter box" for the tv....and the existing antenna will do fine, as long as ...

And maybe one reason why that feed line to the hot water heater froze in the first place? My friend said put more insulation in around the hot water heater, and so he put insulation all around the hot water heater....maybe this prevented any heat from inside the mobile from getting to this area? I d...

Well, Christmas Day I turned the kitchen faucet on to fill the coffeepot, and then pushed it over to the hot side....just to see if anything came out, I guess, and water did. Cold water, anyway. So I called a friend who said it must have been what Dean said - that the water line (feed?) going to the...

Dean - There is no viewing window :-) This sounds kind of lame, but have you ever been at a fast food place or somewhere and the table wobbled because one of the legs was missing the piece that goes on the bottom of the leg? So you want to either move to another table or stick a piece of paper folde...

The water lines are not frozen. The hot and the cold pex lines running to the kitchen sink are not in the insulation up in the underbelly, but they are wrapped together with a working heat tape, with fiberglass insulation around that, and it is warm to the touch. I had thought this heat tape went to...

Okay. Bought a 30 foot heat tape, some fiberglass insulation wrap, tape, a good extension cord....have a good Craftsman halogen worklight....and tomorrow the plan is to go under the mobile home.... Daughter's boyfriend is hauling a load of something from somewhere to somewhere and said he thought he...

Thank you for the information - and the link to the site about pex...I searched on the internet but did not come up with much - that site actually tells you the maximum heat temp pex could safely withstand. And, how to thaw a pex line. Wish I had been as prepared for winter as Canada (a previous pos...

And in response to Dean2 "I have to ask tho,have You let it drip during extreme cold before? Did the drain/sewer lines freeze then?" This is my first winter in this mobile home. The previous owner said she let the water trickle, and that she did have frozen water lines last winter, but onl...

Just thinking about keeping the water lines from freezing....can you even put heat tape on the pex water lines?

Yanita, I will check out that link about water freezing, thank you. I do have heat tape on that short distance of pipe from the ground to the underbelly. It was my choice to shut the running faucet off....but it sounds like frozen sewer pipes are more serious than frozen hot water lines... and what ...

We are at something like 8 below..... with the wind chill -32.....just got home from work....cold water, no hot water. And why is it that hot water will freeze sooner than cold water? I've heard other people say that also. Seem's like it would be just the opposite, doesn't it? But, obviously, it is ...

Okay, thank you all for your advice....and I know you people know what you are talking about, so I shut the kitchen faucet off this morning. It's been off all day, and I think our high was 10 degrees, and I have water still. I guess having water wouldn't matter at all if my sewer lines froze. And th...

Read it.....here it is... Don't mix cold weather and dripping faucets by Mark Bower You may have heard or been told that during the really cold temperatures, keep your faucet dripping so your waterlines don't freeze. The reasoning behind this theory is that with water constantly flowing through your...

Oh sorry, my local temperature is actually minus one degree. With another blizzard warning coming. Wind chills tonight forecasted to be -20.

But I have running water....Chyna Shepherd alive and untouched, ha ha.....she never owned a mobile home..... Sherry in freezing South Dakota....
