More information would be helpful. Are you renting a whole house? One unit in a two unit building? Do other units have water? Are both the kitchen and bath faucets not working?

When our pipes froze, I could tell it happened somewhere between the kitchen and upstairs bathroom. Used a heat gun on the tile along the wall. It eventually thawed. Lucky it didn’t burst.

To thaw the pipes you need to warm them up. Open cabinets under the sink and bath vanity. If you have a space heater or can borrow it, use it next to the wall closet to where you think the pipes are frozen. Keep the taps open when doing this so you’ll know if it’s working.

If you use a heat gun, don’t keep it pointed at a painted surface. It will bubble and strip the paint.

Are you saying that the cyclist’s civil suit against the city does have merit? Don’t get me wrong- I’m anti-Degise, but I don’t see how that makes sense.

The only loser in that scenario would be taxpayers, who would ultimately foot the bill for any settlement paid out by the city.

His lawsuit against Degise personally makes a lot more sense.

"City spokeswoman Kimberly Wallace-Scalcione told The Jersey Journal Friday the mayor would have no comment because of possible litigation, but she wasn’t shy about the potential lawsuit against the city, saying it would have “no merit.”"

My eyes just rolled so far back in my head I am now looking at the back of my skull from the inside.
