De-winterizing projects de jour

The snow has melted and I can get a few projects done that I have been putting off with the excuse that it has just been too freakin' cold! The main catalyst has been that we are getting ready for a little run to Laughlin for the 2013 River Run motorcycle rally in a couple of weeks.

The first thing I had to do was replace the galley faucet that had retained a little water when I drained all the lines and, unbeknowst to me until I turned on the water, had broken. The shriek from my lovely bride when I turned on the water could probably be heard in the next county.

The hole in the base  of the faucet

is NOT supposed to be there!

The new faucet is very high quality with brass fittings instead of plactic. I will also be sure to open all of the taps when I winterize and blow air through the system. Lesson learned.

We also had this Add-a-Wall soft wall in our small 16' toyhauler trailer (in the background) that was too long for the trailer but fits perfectly in our '07 Damon Outlaw. The install took about an hour mostly because I was working solo. I'm pretty sure that if evolution were to really kick in we would all start growing a third hand out of the center of our chest.

 

My next project is to install chains to the ramp to hold it level so we can use it as a patio.
