Thank you. Today we bought a new water filter. The old one had galvanized pipe that was all rusted and nasty. To adapt to RVs which uses hoses you have to put adapters on it. We got the water going into the filter to not leak but going out - ugh. After an hour and a half I finally read the paperwork that came with it. It said to put 4 layers of teflon tape on it. Since we had screwed the male adapter in all the way and it still leaked, I stuck a washer in there and put 6 layers of teflon on it. As of tonight it is not leaking. Will see what tomorrow (actually today I guess) brings.
So for the first time in a couple years, I went to the hot tub. Couldn't get hb to go with me, so I had it all to myself. My body hurts so much from the days of bending, crawling, kneeling, etc dealing with these water leaks. I am still waiting to hear when he will be here to install the new tank so hopefully I can put my kitchen area back together.
Probably won't go anywhere today for my birthday. The Seahawks play at 1 and the Patriots play at 5. Kind of shoots the day! Monday I want to go to Old Country Buffet for senior lunch - October is suppose to be ribs month. Time will tell if I do. I hate taking hb cause one plate of food is about all he can eat. I go there for the fried chicken and ribs.
Happy Birthday, Charlotte! I was wondering if you learned all those mechanical skills growing up on the farm? My husband spend a good part of his childhood on a small farm and he said that it was more about machinery than about agriculture. I'm glad your football teams will be playing and that you have some ribs to look forward to tomorrow. Sounds like a perfect way to celebrate!
Not really - my dad would not let girls participate in fixing things - it was a man job. He was born in 1901 so had some pretty old beliefs. Much I learned over the years with us working together to fix think, the rest I am learning out of necessity.So far the water filter is not leaking. If it is still dry tomorrow, I will wrap it up for winter - then one winterizing job finished. At least that is the plan. Have to wash the MH before I can wrap the faucet and hb gets me frustrated. If he would just stay out of it and let me do it - then I get angry inside because he can't help. Catch 22!! this AD life is.
