I checked the bathroom that was in the kids room, and it wasn\u2019t frozen, so I chose to use that one. Luckily I could also use the shower. I saw there was ice in the bottom of the shower stall, and I was afraid to us it too. The kids were already ready for school, and I knew I wouldn&#8217;t be making it to work. I pulled out a space heater I had in the basement, and put it in my bathroom. I then called the HVAC company and a plumber. I had a small HVAC system in my bathroom, and it must have died sometime in the middle of the night. When the HVAC company called back I told them about the HVAC system in the bathroom, and how I had ice in the shower, and toilet bowl was frozen solid. They were sending an HVAC technician to the house, to look at the bathroom HVAC system, but I had to get a plumber in case some of the pipes were also frozen. I spent four hours talking to HVAC technicians and plumbers, but I finally had my toilet thawed, and the pipes were wrapped with heat tape. They told me I should be fine, but I needed to get some insulation in the outside wall of the bathroom. I was lucky the pipes hadn\u2019t frozen long before this time. <br \/><a target=\"_new\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maxheatingandcooling.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\">air conditioning business<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I walked into my bathroom last week, and I couldn&#8217;t believe what I saw.
