Last night around 9:00 pm the LP detector gizmo began to chirp in the motor home. I went outside and turned the LP lines off and it still chirped. We opened a window and turned on the fan to see if we could clear the air in the MH. It still continued to chirp so I removed the detector and we decided to spend the night at Cassie & Jack's. I left the generator running so we could keep the MH warm and locked it up and left.
We stoked the fire in the cabin real good and hopefully it stayed warm enough to not cause any damage to the pipes when it died down. The pipes aren't a problem to repair so I am not that concerned about it. The last thing we did before leaving was to turn the water pump off in case they restored the electric to the area. Fat chance of that happening.
We have some errands to run down here in the morning and I will buy a new LP detector and then head back up to the cabin. Hope all is well up there and no more trees have fallen across the road or electric lines.
I was very impressed yesterday with all the neighbors coming out and visiting with each other. When Bob and I went for gas we chatted with a number of them on the way back. The guys had gone out with their chain saws and cleared the road in a number of places. None of the waiting for the government to help them and whining about it. Just "git er done" on their part. I talked to a couple neighbors that I haven't seen or talked to in a number of years. Nice bunch of people up there that care about each other.
The power came back on after being out for 51 hours. The main line leading into the cabin area was down and they repaired it. Probably a lot of lines before that also. I am keeping the MH generator running for a couple more hours to be on the safe side. The cabin does have full power now and we have the well working. YEAH!
4 more days to go. Maybe longer.
