I was going to warn you.

I think it was Annie who said, Get them both in the same arm, and that way only 1 arm will be sore. But I did the same as you and got the double whammy. Well it's a good excuse to get out of any chores for a few days.

I remembered to have someone come destroy my cabinets before we got too many freezing nights... I hope the pipes can be insulated well enough. Last winter was frustrating as heck with the kitchen lines being frozen half the mornings I got up. Guhhh

Good beep!

Are the pipes in a crawl space? If so they make this stuff called heat tape. They use in under mobile homes and under unheated crawlspaces.

It's just like it soounds....Tape with wiring inside, and thermostatically controlled, so it only comes on when below freezing. You can buy cheap stuff that you'll replace every uyear or two, or high quality that will last for many years. You can and should also add pipe insulation over it. Easy job!!

No crawl space. This cabinet is right against the outside wall, and has the dishwasher and sink pipes behind it. I went to the basement and the ones down there never froze last winter, so its definitely happening back behind here...

OK....pipes in the wall....Gotcha.....another trick I use to do is leave the cabinet door open on the really frigid nights. I had student tenants who would be gone for a month in January for winter break and the heat would be turned down, I would always open all of their kitchen sink cabinets.

Yup, leaving them open used to work at my old house, but had zero success here, and I don't want to run a space heater all winter, that's probably more expensive than having someone come and do something more permanent. I am guessing when they cut this cabinet open I am going to see literally zero insulation behind it. The warmest temps I found them frozen was a night that was 30f, so there can't be much keeping it warm...
