Well the pipe unfroze without any breaks (as far as I can tell).

I'm exhausted after what must have been 60 trips from the basement to the second floor and back. My kitchen is full of pieces of plaster, wood, and loose-fill insulation...I hadn't cleaned it yet in case I ended up cutting more.

Still sucks, but it would have been worse if a pipe had burst obviously....
