Just
after posting our Blog
last night I had a terrible thought and I told Kathy about it. Due
to the
delays we’d
had yesterday
before
I
ran the RV
Antifreeze
in the Trailer
I rushed and only opened the Faucets
on the Cold
Water Side.
That meant there could still be water in the Hot
Water Lines.
My immediate thoughts were that I had to go back right away to fix my
mistake. Still suffering the Side-Effects
from
her Shingles
Vaccine
she
simply said “Be
Safe”
and went to bed at 9:18.
There
was very little traffic and having grabbed the Remote
Gate Opener
from the Truck
I was at Guardian
Storage
and the
Trailer
in under Fifteen
Minutes.
It took less time to set up the Siphon
Hose
and RV
Antifreeze Jug
then it did earlier. Heading inside the trailer I was shocked at how
much Water
came out of each of the Hot
Water Faucets.
The Below
Freezing Temperatures
expected overnight
would certainly have done damage to our system. The last Faucet
for me to do was the Outside
Shower
but it didn’t seem to be coming out. Without thinking I switched
the Valve
on the Handle
an instantly
bathed my pants with RV
Antifreeze.
I
was back at the apartment by 10:18 ready to take my second shower of
the evening but feeling more secure in knowing the Trailer
was completely Winterized.
When
we got up this morning everyone that we saw on the Trail
down below were all bundled up in Winter
Apparel.
At that point I said I didn’t want to go outside today. I had
plenty of things that needed assembling and organizing inside the
apartment that would keep me busy. I even managed to repair and
adjust the Closet
Door
in our bedroom by myself that the Building
Maintenance Man
was supposed to fix today.
Having
a rest I joined Kathy in the Living-Room
just as the phone rang. It was our good friend Vera calling to see
how we were doing. As they were talking we were looking out the
Balcony
Door
to see clouds of SXXW
blowing past. As quickly as it started it stopped. Not something we
are ready for but being on the Eighth
Floor
we’ll probably see it more then those at ground level.
We
managed to empty another Seven
Storage
Bins
as well as taking
certain items from a few other Boxes.
We also received a couple of calls from other Apartment
Building Managers
that had put us on their Waiting
List.
For
supper tonight Kathy made Hot
Pork Sandwiches
from the Roast
that
she cooked yesterday and it tasted just as good. When I sat down to
write this post I noted that I got my way by not going outside today.
Thank
you for following along and feel free to leave a comment.
Be
Safe and Enjoy!
It’s
about time.

Smart to follow your instinct on the hot water taps! Also smart to hold your own and stay inside today. Although I wouldn't want to be home all winter there is something about fresh white snow that appeals to me :-)
ReplyDeleteSame thing happens to me. Just when I get into bed I remember what I've forgotten to do. Glad you caught it. The cold wave is just getting here, so tomorrow will be an inside day for us. Hope Kathy feels better soon.
ReplyDeleteI hate it when stuff like that happens. Seems I always remember it AFTER I'm in bed. Good thing you went to check it out!!!
ReplyDeleteSeems there is always something to do inside if its an inside day.
ReplyDeleteOk, I am even more confused now. Your RV is not at your former site but is now where you have your storage unit?
ReplyDeleteGlad you remembered and were able to address the problem even if it was on a cold evening.
Hoping Kathy is feeling better.
I am always afraid I am going to forget some part of the winterizing process.
