The way my house was built, the plumbing runs along the forced air heating ducts under the house so they have never froze even when we had that -36 temp in 1987.

We only have one plumbing line on an exterior wall (kitchen sink) - all others are located in interior walls. Outside faucets are designed for cold weather and all hoses are disconnected.

I always thought kitchen grease could go down the drain with hot water, but it's definitely clogged our kitchen sink's drain before.

I haven't, but my wife has . . . more than once! Oh, and I have more years in the kitchen cooking.

I've always been taught to mop up grease and throw it away before trying to clean pans with grease in them.

It doesn't seem to clog up the drain so I just dump it down.

Ask London or any large city sewer dept. what it does to their sewer lines . . .
