    A Miserable day

    came up to the lake to help my buddy find a spot here in the campground to move his 5th wheel. I won't type the entire details of his dilemma or how exactly the day progressed...but this area had 3 days that never got above freezing, I just re-plumbed the whole trailer last summer and the pipes are wrapped well.

    my propane heater wouldn't light in the trailer house
    turned the water on - 3/4 supply line coming out of ground sprayin water, 40' of 1/2 PVC exploded(cold water only) from the supply all the way up through the floor to the kitchen sink.
    hardware store in Hemphill has no PVC, no fittings, no glue
    borrowed some 3/4, fittings and glue from the campground owner
    plumbed it to where I had a feed to the bathroom only, and capped it til tomorrow
    turned water on, copper lines under bathroom sink leaking, fixed that
    found a tee outside now dripping
    turned the hot water on at the kitchen sink, water pouring everywhere, the pea trap has split
    tear that shit apart and pull a cork
    the heater finally lit
    there's more but I'm headed to the cork

    this has not done any favors for my lame ass back neither

    wait a minute....I can see, I can hear, I can smell, I can walk kinda good, I have heat, I have water to the bathroom sink and terlet, I have Whiskey, I'm a happy camper

    oh..think I left out the part about walkin in the shed and water pourin out the back of the washin machine also.

    wonderful

    Definitely a corkpulling affair. Sorry to hear about your troubles Troy. I know this ain't no big dilemma for a plumber like yourself. I remember your last relaxing stay at the castle on the lake started off with a little pluming experience. A little hard work and it will be wisdom added to that already full brain of yours.

    Chill. It will all workout. The main thing is take care of that back. Without it there ain't no repairs being made. I sent you the secret in an IM.

    Sad, Sad story. I'm going to have to go pull a cork just reading it. I feel for you buddy, I did allot of plumbing work for the 18 years in my job with the city and with water leaks you fix one here and 4 will show up down stream.
