Just be thankful it was water and not hydraulic oil. That stuff is seriously nasty. I coat my hands in dish soap and then wear nitrile gloves. It'll dissolve any natural rubber and most plastics.

Out of curiosity though, where in your house was a hydraulic cylinder? I've never heard of a home with a hydraulic system.

Yikes! Yeah...I'll stick with water!

:notsure: There is a huge possibility it was not a hydraulic cylinder.  :P A pipe perhaps? It was a cylinder connected to the bathroom sink.

:blush: My ignorance is showing, isn't it?

No. Hydro is water so a cylinder of water is a hydrocylinder.

This is a hydraulic cylinder as used to push an pull things. Oil is used as it does not corrode the metal of the cylinder.



Ah, ok. I was way off the mark then! ;D

I thought that's what happened but you never know. Learn something new every day. You should see me when the girls at work chat me up about makeup and underwear.

Oh, they do that too. When women find out I'm not bothered by menstruation they tend to get very chatty about it. Weird...

So some water got in between the window and the frame in my bedroom and proceeded to freeze it shut.  >:(  I figured the gasket needed some silicone, but as I already mentioned the window was frozen shut.
So I got a little fan heater and put it on the windowsill to try to thaw out the window (bet you've never heard that before!). Worked like a charm. Except the temperature shock caused the glass to crack.   :o

Luckily it is a double pane window, so it's not that bad. Was still planning on replacing that window come spring.

Sounds like you need a hair dryer my friend. Works great for all your window thawing needs.

I avoid frozen windows by living where it's never winter. Yay sunshine!

I'm not sure what that means. Hmm...

It can mean a number of things, possibly the worst (or best? depending on your perspective) of which is that you've been friend-zoned. Or maybe not, and they just feel comfortable talking to you about a topic that seems to bother a lot of men, and when those men aren't bothered, they make pejorative remarks, dismissing sometimes justified behaviours and moods as "PMS".  But I'm ranting here, never mind me.  ::)
