AGGGGHHHH - Frozen Pipe!!!!
No water is flowing from the hot water faucet in the powder room. The powder room being built on an old porch is not insulated well, but there have been precautionary measures to keep pipes from freezing such as insulation, electrical element wraps...but for some reason all winterizing efforts have failed.
Upon further investigation - ie taking apart a housing box that was built to keep the the plumbing cozy, the electrical element had fallen away from the hot water pipe. RAWR!
Pulling out pink fiberglass insulation is not my favorite thing to do, trying to get tape to stick to a frozen pipe in sub zero temperatures is also not my favorite thing to do. Re wrapped pipe, packed in the insulation...and now its time to wait for the water to flow.
I also placed a space heater in the powder room.
