drove up to tahoe today for snowboarding pre-work vacay extravaganza. had to leave early in order to beat the big storm that was supposed to come through. it didnt. got to the cabin and the driveway was under 3 ft of snow, the propane tank was off and the water was off. maintenance man came and plowed the driveway. brent and i had started in with a wuss 7lb snowblower. he got the drive pliowed in 10mins or so. themn came to figure out hte tank. it had been allowed to run empty, so there was air caught in the lines and the house had frozen. so he flipped the main and showed me how to get the furnace working. there were actually 2 valves that needed to be thrown but i figured that out later. got the hot water heater turned on after the water was turned on. they hadnt drained the lines so there was a broken pipe in the kitchen. the hot water. so we do dishes by filling a container in the bathroom.
