I'm a fellow N.C'ian, live in Wake Cty, and we have a small cabin in high Millers Creek (2 miles from N.C.16 Parkway entrance). No water at our cabin, for 2 days we thawed everywhere & never located the problem; probably underground and will wait for warmer weather. I've fallen twice, truly relate amid bruises. Upon returning to Wake Cty. I found the turn-off toilet valve leaking as I turned it open, so that is shut-down now. Life is a blessing amid the unexpected. We're elderly, eating well to gather strength since we do our own repairs.

Mom, born in Missouri, said she didn't think it would be too cold. Well, we put 4" of water in the bathtub and lo and behold it was frozen the next morning. Thankfully we still had the outhouse.

I've been worried about folks down South since the cold traveled so far down there. Up in the Catskills, where we also have a spring house, we're used to dealing with pipe problems, but I'd bet that you are not the only ones with pipe problems! Your hexagon/mosaic is gorgeous. I hope that you will publish a book about it and another on Celtic Solstice.
