Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Oy Vey!
That's a heap of trouble there partner!

Congratulations on the granddaughter! Sorry about the grandson's situation. Will cross fingers that there's effective help. Remember there's a lot of variability in kid's development.

Sorry about the rest too, but it will pass.

And, my definition of a house built on a slab is that the floor lays on a concrete slab that has been laid on the (prepared) ground. Did you have your vents to the crawl space closed? I have a crawl space and it's a spring and fall ritual to open and close the vents. Of course, there are thermostatically automated ones that don't need intervention.

New Ditto on the vents
I also had a pipe burst in the crawlspace before I knew I was supposed to close the vents. After that, I just bought a sheet of foam insulation and cut it to fit. Press it in tightly after the first frost, pull it out when the trees start to bud. Cost me about $4 per year.

Vents were closed.
The pipe that burst was the pipe that fed the outside faucet. It burst on the inside side of the shutoff valve (which was closed and pipe drained) Some how there was a short (~3") piece of pvc. Guess even under the house it got a little cold when outside temps were hitting -30. (not windchill). In the spring I'll be insulating under the house.

After all, it's only money....

btw. since Sep, I was laid off (contract not renewed) and rehired two weeks later by the same client... Today the manager that I've been working for, just informed me that he has been given his two week notice, half the team has been given their notice, and the remainder of the team (includes me, so far) has been reassigned to another manager. This project is way behind, way over budget, and imo, will never provide the anticipated results... This is NOT a good project. Time to re-update resume...
