Once set up I set to work to change these thermostats below for the propane part of our hot water heater. Easy fix and only a $20.00 part. Got that done and gave it a test. Just like it has always done before runs almost an hour them shuts off, now we have hot water again, yippee !

We had a fun busy day, fixed our water heater, new places new faces and some tasty food. Not much rain and some sunny skies. Was wonderful. Tomorrow will be even busier but this it what we do here , just have too much fun. Nice that we are camped here, don't need to deal with traffic and can walk home to relax anytime we feel like.
Thanks for stopping in and hope you had a wonderful day as well.
Where have we been this summer ?
It does look muddy this year! Hope it all goes well.
ReplyDeletePretty muddy but looks like things are working out pretty good.
DeleteHave fun at the sale. Avoid the mud, hope the sun comes back to dry it up. should be a good time.
ReplyDeleteEwe sure will looks like no more rain should be perfect.
DeleteLooks like a big day - too bad about the mud.
ReplyDeleteWas a great day, but heck it;s only mud will wash off.
DeleteWhat a great day you had. Those tea balls sure do look good. Didn't know there was such a thing!
ReplyDeleteThe Tea balls are so tasty a nice treat.
DeleteWhile Getting ready for Road Trip 2017 I discovered my water heater is fine on electric, but gas flame looks good for a second and then shuts off. Looks like I'll be replacing the thermostat too, bet we have the same Atwood heater. What is the wood frame in front of Suzie? It's in the photo of her and dad in front of your RV.
ReplyDeleteThe thermostat is a cheap and easy fix hope it works for you.
DeleteThat wood fram is a folding foot rest I made for her, she loves it.
You certainly packed a lot into one day! ;c)
ReplyDeleteYes we did and even more today !
DeleteLooks like you had a regular family reunion...of sorts. And fun to.
ReplyDeleteWe sure did nice to run into these guys at these functions.
