RE: Arctic Weather Isn't Just Uncomfortable. It's Stressful!
Speaking as a person who has bought several tools to be used only once or twice, I find it highly logical to invest in the things and knowledge needed to do your own winterizing. Since your lesson learned is that it's a necessity, why not just bite the bullet? I've no idea what the 'start up' costs would be but i'm sure you'd re-coupe that money after a couple seasons of not paying the plumber...maybe?
You're definitely not afraid of picking up new tools and figuring out how to use them.
I guess my reluctance has been, what if I screw it up and wreck the house? But now we're waiting for the plumber and the house might just get wrecked anyway.
good points...both. your house is definitely a worse thing to ruin than my already broken down car. but...on the other hand... decisions decisions
