Need to keep water pipes from freezing help
Had a new well pump installed and had to tear down the old well house, I'm in the process of framing a new one with a shed attached but no roof on it yet and we are supposed to get to single digits in the next couple of days... what is the best way to keep the exposed pipes from freezing?

Well, how you doing there??

@montanajoe so far so good, I checked it at sundown and the temp outside was 14 and falling but the two heat lamps under the tarps had it at 36 degrees near the pipes. I'm hoping we are past the worst of it, but will still be below freezing today. Sun is starting to rise and currently 10 degrees and water was running for coffee so far... not supposed to get much above 35 until Sunday/Monday keeping my fingers crossed. Thanks for asking.

@hillbille Yes the pipes survived thank you, it is actually warming up enough that I will resume building again today. We are gonna be above freezing for now and I turned off the heat lamps yesterday.
