YESTERDAY I WAS A PLUMBER (AND WILL BE AGAIN TODAY).

YESTERDAY I WAS A PLUMBER (AND WILL BE AGAIN TODAY).
Constant high heat of over 106 or 7 every day for many weeks does a number on everything mechanical, and especially things that have parts in them made of plastic or rubber.

Yesterday morning before sunup, I stepped outside to check what kind of a morning it was, and found our pressurized water system had sprung a leak and was running in a little stream out into the sand of the surrounding desert.

When I constructed this place from a single room plywood cabin without electricity, water, septic, or even a roof that didn't leak, to the sprawling place it is today, I put in a 2100 gallon underground water holding tank and connected it with a Sears shallow well pump and holding tank. That first water pump lasted from 1980 to 2009 when it started leaking in the housing and I threw it out..

On 7/13/2009 I installed the pump that's been faithfully pumping fresh water in the house since 2009, and it just started leaking yesterday morning.

By the time I got the water shut off yesterday morning, I found we'd lost about 1000 gallons of precious water. Marisol and I took sponge baths this morning instead of the brief showers we're used to..and I carried many one gallon jugs of water into the bathroom to use for flushing the toilet.

We have plenty of water stored in other tanks around the property, but none of those holding tanks are connected to the water delivery system that connects to our kitchen and bathroom. One thing may have been lucky.. The water pump itself seems to still be alright.. The leak is in a flexible hose connection, and the 6 gallon holding tank had lost it's 40 psi air charge.. There's probably a leak through the valve, which isn't too hard to replace.

Working on the pump is difficult because the little shed it sits in is in sunshine all day, and it gets too hot to work on the pump for more that 30 minutes at a time.

Those sweet readers who follow my blog have read of my trips to the automated pay water station in my old pickup truck. I buy 115 gallons of pure drinking water at one cent a gallon there. Water is heavy, it weighs a little over 8 pounds a gallon, and my old truck is only rated at 1/2 ton, so the 115 gallon jugs I buy fit in the truck's bed and is the right weight for the truck...

If everything goes well today, I'll be able to get the water flowing back into the kitchen and bathroom sometime today.

I've found though, to never count on things going the way I'd hope they'd go. I may find that the water pump has some problem that I haven't yet discovered, and may have to buy a new one and install it... That would mean I'm be wearing the uniform of a plumber for most of the rest of this summer.

Below is a picture I took yesterday of the water pump, and pictures of the automatic water station where I buy our water. The third picture is where I have my old truck in position to drain 100 gallons of fresh water down into the underground holding tank.

So far we've been able to do everything ourselves out here... Trying to get any sort of repair man to come out where we live is almost impossible.

I've always been very good at figuring out how mechanical things work.

Thank you for reading my blog ,( Gorgeous) Sexy.. Sandra.

    Hope the one part was all of the problem and same with the pressure tank. Did you have all the repair items on hand or have to make trips to the hardware store? Note I said trips as plumbing repairs usually take more than one.
    Hope you start getting some cooler weather soon.
    Heading off to Devil's Lake again today, maybe tomorrow too to enjoy the mobile scenery, converse with strange women and kiss some hands. Life is good.
We have, among other places for storing parts and tools, a 40 ft by 8 ft by 9 ft all metal, ocean going cargo container attached to our place and set on cement, filled with tools and parts. (An accumulation of forty years from living here ).

During the first couple of years I was in this place, I realized that because of the long distances involved in trying to get lumber , hardware, and tools, that we needed to stockpile the things we would need and to try for redundancy whenever possible. So, we probably have everything we need to fix the pump and the leak.

Marisol is a good helper and is surprisingly mechanically minded..

This summer HAS been constantly about 5 degrees hotter than normal. Today my computer says it will be 108 in the nearest little town, and we're about 2 degrees hotter.. So, M. and I are in no hurry to get in that steel shed where the pump is housed.. I think we'll wait until the sun starts going down before we get busy on the pump.

For some reason I feel bad that I've been getting all the great sex this year while you're in a drought !! I really hope you're able to connect with just that perfect lady who's as horny for you as you'll be for her.. Hope you have a great weekend... dave

If you see me in the real world, come say "Hi Justskin."

I always behave. Preferably not well.
