Is re-routing them a possibility? Or possibly putting a small circulator fan to push warm air into the cavity? Still gotta seal up that draft, that might just solve your problem.

 

That'd be fine, I'm just heading right back home after I pick them up.

 

Seems it. If you're looking in from the outside they come up the left and cross over to the right (against the foundation). Seems to me you could pull them right along the back of the space and then up along the right side. That and that fkn draft..my theory is when they fed the pipes in from the crawlspace they didn't insulate around them.

My brother in law redid the bathroom about 2 yrs before I bought the house. My educated guess is that he and/or a friend of his did the plumbing, and let's just say I've seen him do a little Mickey Mouse engineering on other parts of the house before. The pisser is he's the best auto body guy you'll ever meet with 30 years experience but not so much on house stuff. Not sure that a fan is an option, he tried that before and the damn thing melted..scared me to death when I found it, I'm lucky I didn't burn the house down.

Either way I believe the pipes gotta be moved. The draft issue could also be causing the pipes to freeze once they enter, but even if not it's something to address because I'm losing heat the other direction from the bathroom.

 

Thanks, what kind of beer do you drink?

 

Check out Pex. It would make relocating those pipes a 5 minute job. You just cut the copper, clean it up, press on a Pex union, press the Pex pipe into the other side, run the pipe (it's flexible so it routes like electrical wire), tie in on the other side and done.

 

No worries man, I'm making the trip anyways!

 

I don't mind, you're helping me out big time. There is no way I will be able to make it to N. Attleboro. I'll be coming from Burlington.

 

I hear ya, normally I'm coming from Cambridge and I don't get out until late but Monday I have a Dr appointment at 2:00, it's like it was meant to be

 

He wants Yuengling.

 

haha, I'm not driving to PA.

 

I know right, damn you Samuel Adams :shakesfist:

 

I have some in my frig and garage .

 

I saw a 30 at John house in the garage.

 

best beer ever brewed!!! love that stuff...

 

Just left the double date i was on with the girl and one of her friends. Well the kid was ripping on me for owning a Toyota. I shut him up so fast lol. for the record he owns a purple f350 diesel lifted and chromed out. I personally invited him to come wheeling Sunday. Word for word "why in the world would I want to off road my beautiful truck with a bunch of JAP boxes" my response "Oh I'm sorry you gotta keep in fresh for your mall meet" Ugliest thing in the world

 

The place is open till 7:30. But I'm bringing my little crappy utility trailer there and just loading them in it. I can be there by 5:15 if anybody want to get a brew.

 

I think my Tacoma with 305's has a better turning radius than my girl's G6.

You gonna visit the brewery while you're there?

 

It's like a blinged out Barney-Mobile...
