Well, not sure if ya'll will count this one as dumb men, but...
During the ice storm my FIL's water lines froze up and broke. Well, the whole line needs dug up and re-done now, but the grounds been frozen. So he's been without water for a couple weeks.
BIL told FIL he'll come over and dig it up for him since my husband's got a ruptured disc in his back and can't do it (and I refuse to do it!). Sunday rolls around and FIL comes down asking if he can get a spud bar from us...we're like sure why? "OH, we're tearing apart the porch and we're needing the spud bar to help get the post out of the ground." When I asked why they were tearing up the porch, answer was, "So we can dig up the water lines."
Kind of dumbfounded, I asked, "Isn't the ground frozen?"
"Yes, it was, but we boiled some water and poured it out ontop of salt...that melted it!"
