Plumber Wanted

I spent the last two afternoons tackling the water problem in the camper.

Yesterday I put on a new faucet. I actually had to saw the plastic threads on the cold water because I could not unscrew the water line from underneath. There was only half an inch to rotate the wrench. Not to mention my body from the waist up was contorted into the space under the sink. But I had no problem installing the new faucet.

Unfortunately, the old water pump still didn’t work. So today I removed the unused water pump from the 5th-wheel. Then I again wiggled my upper body into this little space, and out, and in, as I removed the old pump and installed the replacement. The pump works, the faucet works. Yea!

Not so quick. There’s a leak. I’ll tackle that tomorrow. Right now my back and shoulders hurt.

Never a dull moment

Last night while running water in the kitchen sink I started to notice an unusual blurgley noise.

Early this morning I noticed a wet spot on the living room carpet after Carson had been washing his feet. He likes to keep up appearances.

Later I noticed the wet spot on the carpet had grown. Hmmmm.

Then I went to make lunch and when I reached into the cupboard under the sink for a pan, yuck.
The elbow under the sink was apart and the ucky gray water gunk had soaked the wood, filled some pans, run onto the floor below and the carpet. Took all afternoon to repair the elbow and clean up the mess. Obviously I’m not parked very level.

And all I really wanted to be doing was to finish making this necklace.
