Because of the crazy winter weather event happening in TX I found myself without hot water flowing.

I had only trickled cold water and not the hot too which I think caused the issue but could be wrong.

After reading about low points freezing I added pipe insulation along with a custom made insulated cover.

I didnt want to sit outside yesterday with a hair dryer hoping it would work and just insulated and hoped for the best.

Today still no flow.

I realized I could access the hot water heater from the inside (removed the 2 drawers on right side of desk) and found I could simply put a hair dryer in the hole in the floor leading to the low points and within 10 mins had hot water!

Hopefully this can help someone with the same model or similar layout.

I am also very happy with the build quality of my home and with the support I have received from GD whenever I call them with questions.

I also want to say thanks to everyone on here providing their experience and knowledge. I might not post much but I do read allot!

I cant wait until Sunday when I can wear shorts outside!
