Camping in the Driveway – Because this Happened!

How does the old saying go: “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” Maybe mine and Joan’s saying is a little different. “When your main waterline breaks and floods your basement, then move into the 5th wheel for a little camping in the driveway.” A crazy Easter weekend, but we survived, enjoyed the 5th wheel for a few days and life’s back to normal thanks to the plumbers coming to our aid.

All in all, we fared well after the shock of seeing a creek flowing out of our basement the Saturday morning before Easter. Two feet of water in the crawl space and the water meter dial spinning like a roulette wheel was quite a shock! A call to the emergency line at the plumbing company, the plumber arrived and after a look at the task, we both agreed this wasn’t going to be a quick fix. We moved into the 5th wheel, was able to fill the water tank and we had running water, the X2 for satellite TV and thankful for the 50 amp connection in the garage. Monday morning, the crew came to the rescue. Backhoe, big ditch, new water line and we were moving from camper to house by late afternoon.

Thanks goodness for the 5th wheel and the excellent services from Ricky Heath Plumbing.

With our appreciation for the excellent service from:
