First job of the day after breakfast was to get the satellite dish up
and running, which didn't take long at all, as we had a clear view from
the end of our driveway. After having so many places without
electricity or access to easy water, it was time to do laundry here! We
combined the exercise with also trying to discover at what point the
fresh water tank stopped siphoning, so I did a load of laundry, then we
checked the meter level, which still registered Full, then Hubby dropped
the hoses that we had connected to the vent and overflow of the tank,
but they immediately began siphoning water, so he put them above the
tank again, and I did another load of laundry. After the second load,
the meter still showed full, hoses still siphoned, so I did another
load, and another! It was halfway through the fifth load when the meter
finally registered less than full, but by then I had started worrying
that the tank might be imploding, so I went out a blew air into the vent
pipe, and it FINALLY broke through. When I checked the meter again, it
had dropped to 1/3, so obviously we need to be careful with that! Once
the laundry was all hanging out, we tackled the job of putting up the
new tent I had bought as an extra bedroom, just a little two-man that
would do the job perfectly. Didn't take long, a very simple
construction project, followed by getting out the air mattress and pump.
Even though we didn't exactly have the right fitting, we managed to
fill it, much faster than I thought we could, and before we knew it, job
done! Settled in for the evening in the usual time and manner. get the satellite dish up and running, which didn't take long at all, as we had a clear view from the end of our driveway.
