other thing to consider is the backflow valve may hold wather in the ball in the valve. I had one split open because of the water still in the valve.


You need to open the pitcocks to drain out the PVB. This is my step by step list:

1) Turn off main valve down by the water meter.
2) Turn system on to relieve pressure.
3) Turn shut off valves on PVB to 45 degrees.
4) Open pitcocks on PVB.
5) Drop insulated wrap over the PVB.
6) Forget it until spring.

I haven't lost a PVB yet following these steps.


I just built an insulated plywood box to go ever the whole thing. Drain water and set the box on top.

I am anxiously awaiting someone to post the Whataburger cup over the hose bib.

I saw one better -- she put a Buc-ee's cup over the Whataburger cup.

A plane heading to Laguna Beach?

Might have been headed to SNA, but Laguna Beach is oddly specific for a city with no airport.

Hope he can grab a good table outside at Las Brisas for sunset!

Also, what exactly is a US Senator supposed to do about the weather?

I asked this question of the screeching morons in 2021. Their only answer was that he should be here in Texas suffering like the rest of us.

You would have thought his job was to go door to door and personally fix peoples' busted pipes and just be there to comfort and console them in person by the way the freaktards were wailing back then. As if these guys don;t get real things done by making calls, sending emails, texts etc.

Modern librals have zero shame or awareness.

The person complaining while on the same flight with him may top the poor helpless West U neighbor who leaked the group text that Cruz's wife sent to them about going out of town.

I'm sure the Democrats are really calmed and reassured by seeing Ted sit in on OEM press conferences. They say thank you for that, right?

Photo op. It's the only use politicians have during a natural disaster.

Speaking of which, has Dora dusted off the black tactical combat suit?

See, I'm not so sure that kind of thing goes away. I think if you were in good with her and on her staff, that is a forever mark upon you. No such thing as a former Aggie. I imagine the same thing with SJL staffers.

Maaaaaaaaan yall let a dimtard troll yall with a stupid ted Cruz triggering vacation meme. That is so 2021.

Let's focus on the important stuff like sinking the power lines in the ground.

I literally called Centerpoint and chatted with their online assistant for 8 hours today asking when my Cyp block could expect underground power.

"Joseph" said "he" had no information on when I could expect a resolution. I suspect "Joseph" may not be real at all. Or its maybe a dude named Jaresh in Bangladesh.

Any help on how I can run power down the poles ** just ** in front of my house so the stupid 15-yr-old pin oaks don't absolutely wreck my power during the ice storm? And then of course run power back up the poles on the other side of my property?

I've got calls to several rental places placed but I guess trenchers are all rented out since they haven't returned my calls.

Really starting to worry about the freeze affecting north of The 10.

How much money do you want to throw at it? Ten years ago it cost me $2500 to run my line underground about 65-70 LF from the meter on the back of my garage to the house.

Yes. Soak in bleach then wrap your head with duct tape (in that order).

This morning it looks like SE Texas may be in the clear for ice. Just cold and wet unless you live north of 59.
