6 years in the wilderness

Well....in that case you couldn't spell ship.

[Antonyraison]

No.. but sure felt like a sinking one.

[WalkingTree]

Well, I'm trying to think of something witty myself. I can't. I'm just not that funny I guess.

Well it does seem some of these threads have been..."Going down the toilet".....Lately

[Rick]

As luck would have it I had to work on a toilet today. I was thinking no one is going to believe this. Pretty crappy, huh?

[crashdive123]

Don't forget to clean up when you're done.

[Antonyraison]

Rick you too?
HAHAH I just fixed my toilet here at home, darn thing wasn't engaging the stop valve, so water Just continuously flowed the overflow back into the Bowl. DAMN annoying.
BUT ALL FIXED UP.

That hole in the ground behind the cabin here never has gotten backed up and spewed...

Even more so when you are on a pump...and septic system....that doesn't like to having a LOT of extra water over loading it.
As it get drained than antifreeze added... in the winter.......all systems were made to drain back out....but weak spots are the toilet refill valve, and kitchen sink sprayer.

So BR cabinet look like a hardware store's plumbing section with spare and tools ready to go......along with heating elements for the water heated.

For some dumb reason someone designed the church's kitchen below the restrooms. Yeah. If there is water in the kitchen floor you never look up. Just sayin'. I was like the architect actually.....yeah, yeah, we know, we know. pipe is cheap. yeah, yeah, we know.

Nope....designed and built the system for this method.
My posted list:
Shut off pump
Shut incoming water line...
Plug in line heater....to incoming line.

Open drain down valve...next to incoming...
Open all faucets....( for air lock)
Connect short piece of hose to water heater....drain out back door...(If I left heaters on, wouldn't need to do this....but I like to flush it out)
Add anti-freeze to all traps.......kitchen sink, shower, bathroom vanity, washer dryer trap....
Remove sprayed head in kitchen...

Wait for water heater to drain...

Leave toilet for last....DW usually has to use it....LOL
Flush, drain tank......add antifreeze.....
Load up in truck...head back to city.
