23 degrees. Living in a camper while i build. Had to run water all nite or the hose would freeze, again.

My wife’s sister sold their house and is now living in a camper, except They just crashed at her moms house for a couple months and parked it along the road. (National lampoons Cousin Eddie). I wonder if he thought to winterized it ??

Wngsprd, did you pet the doggie?

Be careful taking those trees down.

27F and partly cloudy @ 08:45, heading up to a high of 40F for the day.

Back on a normal day schedule ... for the moment anyways ... :laughing:

Ventured out across that treacherous driveway of ours and got Menard's and Home Depot orders picked up last night. (Black accent tile very well packed, no damage - looks very nice, product of Spain)

UPS rescheduled delivery for Monday ... the rain/snow showers start tomorrow and continue through Monday ... :confused2:

Smart move fellas ... :thumbsup:

:laughing:

I'm sure there will be some feeders that need refilled today.

Other than that, probably try and see if I can get those water supply valves apart ... now that I have some MAPP gas.

Unload van.

Work on bathroom renovation.

I did somehow miss picking up one item (6" wide fiberglass mesh tape) at The Depot that had come in from another order ... so there will be another trip over there at some point.

Hope everyone has an enjoyable, productive, and safe day ... :thumbsup:

Looks like we hit the 50s by mid week.

The new ball valves with the sharkbite fittings seem to be fairly good.
My water softner was installed using all sharkbit fittings and a mix of copper and pex tubing with no leaks,
it's been in about 5-6 years now.

No soldering required, just a tubing cutter.

Lou,

Thanks ... good to know ... :thumbsup:

I watched a video a while back where PTC fittings were used to replace an old shower valve (copper ---> PEX) ... pretty slick and easy.

Guess I need to get up to speed on this modern technology ... :laughing:

It's a shame i have to live on site but, it's deep in the woods and no security. It's also a shame that the meth heads stole all the copper out of the new house just down the road.

The home owner is a county cop and my neighbor. Got the guy the next day. Maybe the robber figured the cop wouldn't kill him if he got caught?

For a couple hundred dollars worth of scrap they can do thousands of dollars worth of damage....and the associated delays.

I hate this camper so much i almost hope some crack head makes a mistake.

most rv's aren't well insulated so not so easy staying warm in them.
vs:
pellet stove on toasty warm......
now toasty warm is all good, I could use a little toasty warm.

filled up bird feeders, pretty cold out, driveway snow very crunchy. Took Makita leaf blower
and blew off small amount of Safe Paws ice melt left on walkway back into driveway.

meth heads stole all the copper
that must have been seriously annoying, hope insurance covered it.
Sadly folks under the influence do a lot of stupid and selfish things.

On living in campers and RVs in winter, make sure that no wind gets under the camper. I used straw bales with mine and that helped to keep the floor kinda warm. Not toasty, but not the outside temperature either. I also let the snow pile up along the sides and back and a sheet of plywood across the hitch end to separate the propane tanks from the rest of her.
