Something New



The shed, washer, dryer, and hot water heater are not new, but new to us. The shed is 6x10, 3 guys(OB, Lyle, and H) and myself loaded it on a trailer, brought it to our lot, then unloaded and tried to level it.
H and I brought over the rest of the things on a different trailer. Our neighbor, Rob, helped H drain the heater several times to get out the old water smell. H and I put everything in the shed and leveled them. The next day we went to Home Depot to get all the plumbing and electrical supplies we needed to hook everything up. Took H almost all day to do the plumbing and electrical work. Last evening I did a load of wash. Great to be able to stay here and do it, rather than a laundromat.
Last evening we kept smelling something, couldn't quite place what, sort of like sewer, but more like a propane leak. We checked everything over last night then again today. Sprayed for leaks, took tanks in and out. This afternoon, H finally found what it was, one of our batteries is boiling hot. Thankful it did not explode. It is out of the 5th wheel now so it will cool off. I suppose this means a new battery.
