Hi Mark,   
      
   >> Our house in Windsor, which we're trying to get on the market to sell

   >> freeze last week.. repairs haven't even been completed there yet, and   
   >> we're expeting another very low temp freeze. The weather moguls say this

   > Yikes - good luck with your repair.  Yes, with these cold temps and a furance   
   > that is not working, even the interior pipes will freeze.   
      
   Ancient oil furnace :)  and I mean ancient.. but now the furnace is doing ok,   
   which is a good thing.  Thank goodness we just had word from the Ins. company   
   that they'll pay for all the repairs, so now they are going to be determining   
   the total amount of damage, etc.   
      
   I feel like I'm at a loss with the "where do we start?" with the repairs though   
   :)  I'm hoping the service agency that going to determine the damage will help   
   with that.

   hehe.. over here, yesterday we were at 3F daytime and -5 last night.  Insane   
   to me :)  I think when the house froze, the lows that night were -10 or   
   something though.

   Yes, I know what you mean :)
