So anyway, so I've been using space heaters downstairs, new system upstairs.

And then we have this massive cold freeze this winter.

And so I've been...

Relying on my Yolink sensors.

Yes, yes.

My house is filled with Yolink sensors.

I can see the temperatures everywhere.

I have one outside so I can correlate what's going on inside to what's going on outside so I can tell when the system is working right.

I have water sensors everywhere for water leaks at every turn.

under every sink trap under every toilet valve um on a couple of you know next to the fridge like in case that leaks like next to the ice maker and you know a couple of like floor locations water link sensors or water leak sensors everywhere so i'm going through this freeze and i'm watching my and we you know we have like the house is lifted um because it's the beak so it's like it's on stilts

And the water main, you know, there's a challenge when you have a lifted house with no basement under it.

How do you insulate the water main and the sewer main that have to come in and out of the ground to go up to the house?

So we have this, like, boxed out closet that goes around them.

And there is a heater inside that closet that keeps it, you know, 50 degrees or whatever.

And, of course, sensor in there.

So I've been monitoring that.

And, like, during the worst of the freezes, that water main closet got down to, like, 36 degrees.

Wow.

i was watching i'm like oh god and meanwhile the bay is frozen there's no ferry service so the only and i don't have a driving permit anymore so i don't live there anymore so the only way i can get there if i need to do something is i can like bum a ride from someone during the day if they happen to be driving their truck on for you know if they're a contractor or something like and i know a few people so i can like i can ask for rides but it's hard to get there and it's it's not fast to get there and

the answer often you know the answer if i if i want to go there on saturday the answer is too bad you're going on monday anyway i'm watching these sensors go down on these like you know super freezing saturday nights i'm like oh god getting tense and like i know a couple of people out there that if i really had to i could call them to go over there and like change something if i really had to but like you know you also don't want to call a friend to go over to your house when it's five degrees with 40 mile an hour winds
