I keep thinking, I need to make a post! And then I don't have anything worth posting about because it's all moving too quickly, so I don't. But I do read my flist every day, still. :)
My water is rock-solid! I'm on municipal water but somehow it's just full of iron. So everything gets this crust on it and my faucets leak and it's awful. I can't wait for soft water. :)
And AW, MAN! That stinks. I sure hope your warm weather tomorrow gets everyone jumpstarted.
Water softening is definitely required then, not to mention a decent filter for the tap. Iron is noxious. I heard somewhere recently that, over the long term, it causes the arteries to thin, which is pretty scary as side-effects go.
We get the crust effect, too, but because of too much lime, not iron. Still, it's a pain when it builds up in the faucets and kettles. And nothing, but nothing, will scrub it off a shower curtain. Not even vinegar, which usually dissolves everything like that.
