Frozen Pipes

I got back last night only to find out that our pipes had frozen. We have no water, the school has no water, the heat was out, and it's negative thirty degrees. Welcome home, eh? Maintenance, who was flown in from Dillingham yesterday, predicts this will take about two weeks to clear up. If that's the case, we can't legally hold school until the pipes are fixed.

I suppose though, like everything else, we will adapt and become more efficient with this less than convenient situation. At least we have loads of snow. As you might imagine though, the bathroom thing is kind of a buzzkill. Negative thirty degrees is no joke, makes me jealous of the men and really appreciative of running water.

This bucket usually holds our sugar. For the next few weeks however, it will be our hair washing station. Unbelievable.
