Winter Tips for Plumbing

maybe Molasar is referring to ye olde outhouses?

Up here we'd never leave the house unheated because we wouldn't leave it for more than a couple of weeks tops, but maybe people with cabins would? I dunno. We'd just turn the thermostat down to sufficiently above freezing (exact temp depends on what animals remain in the house) Like twinkie says, all pipes are away from the exterior walls except the ones to the outdoor faucets and we winterize those in November.

of course! we can't stand those dirty indoor things.

yes, thanks to my translator, I did mean salting the pan/bowl as opposed to the cistern/tank.

BTW why do Yanks use the word 'faucet' when 'tap' is only half as many characters to type, and half the number of syllables so it's quicker to say?
also you talk of beer being 'on tap' but not 'on faucet'
