And the freeze apparently didn’t damage any pipes, which with PVC is never the way to bet.
The temperature has gone back to freakishly warm: It’s actually supposed to be in the seventies for the next four days. So there was a chance my drain pipe might thaw. I wasn’t sure about that because of course no matter what the sun’s doing it’s always going to stay cold under the cabin. But yeah, I checked and the drainage was back. I was actually reluctant to open the valve to let water back into the cabin, being pretty much sure the result would be a gush of water where it’s not supposed to be. But so far so good. No drips, and the big goofy-looking gauge at the sink says the pipes are holding pressure.
Of course there was the usual brown water and sediment that needed to be flushed out…
…but I’m used to that. Even remembered to take the aerator off the faucet before opening the valve. Now I can put away all the Plan B infrastructure the Lair has been cluttered with for the last two weeks. Till next time.

Nice! Joel, you need to get a few lottery tickets because you’re one lucky fella.
