That’s a lot of work. If you’re running a water line in a pvc pipe make sure they do something to keep it from freezing. If it’s just a pvc water line then the earth should insulate it as long as it’s buried deep enough. Well done on a horrible type job. I wouldn’t put that pain on anyone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leghome Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 it is all under the house so freezing should not be a problem. Have not hd a line freeze ion over 20 years so all is good I hope. See you in a couple of weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted May 30, 2022 Author Share Posted May 30, 2022 The get together is over and done. The last people left at 7:00. O the amount of food leftover. We planned for enough food for 60 knowing that about 40-45 would show. We were right on. But it seemed like nobody hardly ate anything. I grilled so that might explain it. Lol. ( first time using a grill in almost 20 years). Karen cooks, I don’t. At least some was kept frozen. I didn’t take any pictures but someone sent me a text with a picture of some of the kids. No idea who. So at least I have proof. Do it did happen. Lol. The kids turned my water feature ( hot tub) into a kiddie pool. Lol. They had a blast. I took all the kids on separate rides through the woods on the gator. I don’t think there was any head injuries, I hollered duck as the tree limbs were coming. Kids don’t listen. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willie Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Dennis Glad your shing ding is over and you all had a great time!!! Understand about the cooking and thank God, Karen does most of it (I am in the same boat, I burn everything). However, if you needed more people to eat the rest of the food you should have told us, i am sure we could have taken a ride to help you out!!! Now take a deep breath, help Karen clean up and pull that motor!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need advanced notice though because that week I think I have a trip to Colorado, or Minnesota, or somewhere else, planned. Lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dtret Posted June 2, 2022 Author Share Posted June 2, 2022 I’m thinking it’s not the wheel bearing. Lol. I guess I’ll fix this. This should fix the vibration issue too. I drove the truck to Maryland to get the pos 70 like this. I’m not going to try the Carlisle trip. IMG_3774.MOV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
