Don`t wait till you have a busted pipe to try and figure out where you cut the water main off to your house. If your pipes are frozen, be pre-paired tomorrow or the next day for when they thaw. Several people on social media where I live that have water flooding their home and can`t shut off the water.

I sent pictures and a diagram to one of my wife's employees today. I walked her through the whole thing. my pipes froze and I was prepared. I'll be over-prepared next time.

Everyone should own a curb key.

A lot of new homes are built with a water cutoff in the garage...my house has one. Just one valve cuts off water to the whole house. Definitely nice to have in a time like this...just hoping I don't have to use it.

I clamped a cheap set of vice grip pliers on my water main years ago all I have to do is flip the lid and turn no hunting for tools needed.

I know where mine is and how to cut off. I have replaced both outside faucets. One just weeks ago. It took me 5 minutes to clean out dirt from 🔥 🐜

And a strong earth magnet will slow down freezing when placed on the meter... or was it slow down the meter and keep the bill from going up

My neighbor came knocking 2 days ago when his burst in the attic asking if I knew where his water cutoff was. I said of course I do, it's right next to mine...

Builder of my house was actually smart enough to install a shut off valve in the garage. Common sense does prevail I guess.
I am still looking for the perfect apron, one with reinforced knee areas would be perfect.
