That was a much more detailed response than I expected, Paul, thank you for that. I'll keep my fingers crossed for everyone in your area that you don't have any more abnormal winters and that any very cold spells you do have are short lived. Having grown up in houses where glasses of water froze overnight, I can sympathise with your predicament, but hopefully your winter spells are not as long as our Scottish and English ones.
PS: A basement can be a blessing because it can allow easy access to the underside of the floors which you can insulate. It also keeps the wine and beer cool in the summer.

If you are going to do it, do it in a kilt!
