I’m going to the farm this afternoon to determine how much damage I have there. I have 2 electric water heaters in areas where there is no heat. Both are in buildings, but when they freeze full of water, bad things happen. And to the lines going to them. There was some heat in the house, but the garage is the issue with one. Another building with no way to heat without electricity has the other water heater.
This should have been handled differently. The priorities were obviously the areas determined by “someone” to be critical or necessary. Bureaucrap.
Those not in those “essential” (Covid Lingo) were simply shut completely down.
We put heat lamps in the pump shed and the garage. The garage on froze even with an extra blanket but crossing fingers when it thaws. The pump shed seems ok since we have water but haven’t been out there to make for sure.
