I'm camping(?) @ work. I'm calling my Taz my porta potty.
Things to note.
I hooked up to little Gen, Wanted AC on fan. I thought it defaulted to all modes off when shut off. Turned power on and AC tried to run! Gen stumbled and tone sounded on AC as I'm hitting off.
47* (inside) is to cold for me. 55-57 is good. I got cold Thursday night. I do not run Gen at night. Just a couple hours a day. Boss let me plug in Friday night.
Thursday shower was hot/cold- tested first so I didn't wash my hair. Friday I heard water pump cycle. Went out & checked hot water line from heater leaking. Yes I need new lines. Tightened it up- odd it was fine for a day?. So not trusting shower I washed my hair in sink, then showered. Perfectly !! Again odd one day hot/cold next day fine. Friday night heat - 55-57. But as I'm testing (always) I left water pump on. Heard it cycle during the night. This morning- hot water line leaking again. Changed washer. Going to have to get new hose lines!
Storage or lack of it makes clutter but I carry a lot with.
Maybe next one I do a 7x14,16 and have $$$.

And I ran out of water! @lunch time. Was loading up to head home soon so wasn't a terrible thing. I think I forgot to refill it after we played with the water heater. But also since my hot water hose leaked I may have lost a few gallons.

Camping in my own driveway. I gave my house to out of state guests. They came for a graduation. Nice family reunion going on.
Cold wet and windy. So I won't be trying out my hard start capacitor. Got to find a place for it.

I'm still having hot water issues. This time full hook ups! I used about 5 gallons of water before getting hot water. Then I'd loose hot water then I get hot water. I didn't get scalded just setting hot then cold. I changed the batteries to see if they are part of the issue. They tested fine last month but...
Here I go out to shower and

I hope you get the hot water figured out. I got mine dialed in now with the adjustable thermostat and electric or propane options. It is only 6 gallons, but it recovers quick and I have yet to run out when taking a shower.

Which?
Roof coating or a roof vent?

Either way might be awhile!

We are having this same miserable depressing weather here in VA also. What is going on with the weather this spring?

I don't mind the temp swings and rain as much as the wind. 45 & 50 mile gusts with 25-30 sustained is just to much. Calm today.

Padilen, Howdy;

At least you have the rain to help keep the dust down. Here in the desert, we have the same
winds but nothing to keep the dust down. Temps today in the 90's and wanting to open the
windows to catch a breeze, but all that does is let another 1/2 " of dirt in .... So, spring
cleaning won't start till some time in June. Y'all need to find the High/Low switch on that big
Swamp Kooler and turn it down to Low.
