| Hey Nick!
| What is so special about THIS year?
| Same as you. THREE Times to Greenport LI, in last two weeks for exactly
| the same problem! Water left in inspectors test pipe froze and broke 3
| times! One service call made at 9:45 left me getting back home at 12!
| Of course, unoccupied restaurant, closed for winter- no one there to
| get a low air-
| and of course- hot water boiler heat thru 13 A/c coils in building-Fire
| Alarm Signal= Fan shutdown= No heat! All the way out to bypass the FS
| relays so the REST of it didn't freeze solid!
