Hey Chrissi! The hair dryer may not be hot enough. When this happened to me once, I had to use a blow torch, with the flame directly on the pipe, in order to thaw it out.
Whatever you do, be careful. Don't need a fire! Good luck!

The snow completely shut down the city. For those of us who lived in the heart of town, it was one big endless par-tay. The bars were hopping, and outdoors it was clean and most amazingly quiet. People made snow angels in the middle of Locust Street. ;D

Good luck with the pipes, Chrissi! :P

Hooray!!!
The warm water is back! :D
One pipe is still frozen (the one which catches the overflow from the burner). So we still need my super-high-tech construction: a funnel from my kitchen combined with a pipe from the former aquarium, led into a 10L bucket. I fixed all parts with ornery packthread. We empty the bucket four or fives times a day. Works good.
I'm more mechanical than Randall :laugh:.
