It is 10:00 p.m. and I am sitting on the bed working when I hear "Bad News, Bad News, Bad News" coming from the bathroom. We have had a slow water leak today. I thought it was probably a leak from where all the snow was melting from the roof and we had some leaking in. Rather than coming to bed, he just had to see if he could figure out where the water was coming from.... and about a minute or so later... I hear the bad news. It was actually coming from the back of the toilet (fresh water) and when he felt the fitting, it popped off and water was everywhere! Here were the steps involved in turning off the water:
1. look around for clothes (he was in his boxers)
2. Grab a jacket (it is cold outside) - the first one - his bright orange hunter jacket
3. pickup the lantern and screw gun. (remember the water is spewing out this entire time.)
4. put on boots because of the mud
5. Unscrew the underpinning that he put up under the camper
6. Turn off the water.
He was a funny site and I will spare everyone the picture of him in his underwear, bright orange jacket and boots.
Of course in typical Rod fashion, rather than leaving the water off for the night and dealing with it tomorrow, he worked on it and fixed it before he went to bed.
