This time of year we have very hard water, especially with these cold temps, the water is actually "Fracking" itself..............

Come summer time we have soft water again..
We have been having "Frost quakes" every winter when it gets this cold.

We have been having "Frost quakes" every winter when it gets this cold.

I woke up to 15*F yesterday morning.  When the temperature finally started dropping;  my house, at times, sounded like there was .22's being shot as it contracted with the cold!!
