Last weekend was so cold that our washing machine wouldn't work. The water wouldn't run into the machine because the pipes were frozen.
We tried various things all day on Saturday to try to remedy the situation, but nothing worked. Lew and Dad were concerned the pipes would burst.
In what I viewed as a desperate move, Lew cut a hole in the wall in back of the washing machine. It's a false wall, so he was hoping the hole would allow the heat to get in and circulate. (The outside temperature was not expected to increase overnight, so we knew Mother Nature wasn't going to fix anything.)
When I got up early Sunday morning, I decided to see if the washing machine would work — just for yuks.
And guess what? Running water!!! It was music to my ears.
A lesson learned: Sometimes you really do need to make a hole in your wall.
