Live and Learn

We are idiots...it is our own fault...um, now that I think about it, it actually makes sense that you can't just turn off a radiator on an outside porch (why would we do this anyway? well, b/c who wants to heat an outside porch in MN?!). Why can't you just turn it off you ask? Well, b/c now I realize there is still water in a radiator when you turn it off, and that water is bound to freeze when it's -10 degrees for a good length of time...especially when the radiator sits on an outside wall. Then one day you will come home to a radiator with icicles hanging from it b/c it has cracked in numerous places and the water has been dripping and draining for a while, the wood floor will be all wet, dirty water will be spattered across the room, and you will have to call an emergency plumber who will charge you hundreds of dollars an hour to come out and probably tell you that it will cost you much more than that to replace the radiator so you can once again start to heat your outside porch in MN. Ugh...live and learn.

Ummm, maybe I should quit posting about our stupidity...does it make us sound even stupider than you thought we were?!
