Manno revealed in a series of Instagram story videos on Tuesday that her pipes were frozen before showing her outdoor pool was competely solid
‘Well, our pipes are frozen. What? Like how? We have like… I seriously think we had like four or five faucets dripping.
She also shared an image of the Nashville forecast, revealing it was negative 2 degrees on Wednesday, but it was supposed to be back up to 62 next Thursday.
‘My goodness with this weather. From -2 to 62 in eight days. But truly grateful that a warm-up is coming,’ she captioned the post.
Manno then shared a video of her outside her home, stating, ‘Just call me Plumber Ali! I got the heat working! Or the hot water,’ showing a wooden cover over her pipes.
‘And for those asking, yes our pipes are not only insulated on the outside but we had like this thing built around it to further help insulate it, since this happened last year. Let me show you the pool. The pool is a doozy.’
The next Instagram story video showed her fully frozen pool, which she captioned, ‘There’s no point in worrying about things you can’t change. At this point, we have to wait for the temperatures to come back up. So I’m going to do everything I can to put this out of my mind today.’
‘So here’s the pool,’ she said, adding that she got the hot water working by, ‘holding a hair dryer to it for an hour.’
She lowered a gloved hand to the pool and knocked on the frozen water, revealing it was, ‘rock hard ice, which is not what it’s supposed to be.’

She captioned the post, ‘Problem Number 4 that I wasn’t anticipating. Just gotta laugh about it at this point. (This is our pool bathroom – not a heated space. Have a space heater in there now’
Manno added that the, ‘freeze protect did not work properly so we’ll see. I’m gonna just get in the sauna and relax because there’s nothing I can do about this.’
A few hours later, she shared another Instagram story video revealing, ‘We have working heat, that means problem two of three is solved now. Only problem left is the pool and there’s absolutely nothing I can do about it, so I’m not gonna stress about it and I’m gonna let it go and enjoy my day.’
She added in the caption, ‘I truly believe that stress and worry is one of the absolute worst things for your health. So my biggest ‘work’ in life right now is to LIVE by the motto, “don’t worry, be happy.” But let’s be realistic here. If we end up having to dig up the back yard I will probably lose it.’
Just a few hours later, she chronicled yet another problem she wasn’t planning on – her outdoor toilet also freezing over.
She captioned the post, ‘Problem Number 4 that I wasn’t anticipating. Just gotta laugh about it at this point. (This is our pool bathroom – not a heated space. Have a space heater in there now.’
She showed a video of ice in her outdoor toilet, adding, ‘Here we are in our outdoor bathroom. Did I mention how cool this is?’ she said with a laugh.
