Texas : Walker County : Huntsville : Winterize your outdoor pipes--Complete "How To"-What You'll Need, Where to Find it and a Video Showing you How
Be Safe-Not Sorry!
It's that time of year---frost on the pumpkin means freezing temperatures at night. Even here in East Texas, it gets pretty cold. Take measures now to be sure you won't have an issue with freezing pipes during this Holiday Season.
This weekend as you are going to the stores to pick up holiday decorations and gifts, be sure to stop by Lowes, Home Depot or your local Hardware store to pick up some pipe insulators for your outside plumbing fixtures. The Holiday Season is MUCH more fun without broken pipes!

And, here's a BRIEF instructional Video, complete with outdoor chimes as "background music." ( This could be my husband's big chance for a movie role!)

So many expectations, yet so much disappointment. Players let us down, coaches let us down. But let me say this: The special teams coach, Joe DeCamillis, is an amazing man and an amazing coach.
Now, I do not pretend to be any kind of expert about football--but, let me say, I know people, and I know courage, excellence and an impregnable spirit when I see it. He is quite a coach as demonstrated by the quality of the calls and successes he has had during this season.
