Today was one of those days where everything that could go wrong did go wrong. Since picking up the trailer yesterday numerous little things have gone wrong. I feared that I may not have protected the water system enough as there were a couple of days when it went down to -8c while we were away. Hooked up the water and all was fine EXCEPT the kitchen faucet leaked. An hour later it was fixed, turns out the nut that holds the cartridge in place had loosened. Next was the bathroom fan, this operates when the roof vent in the bathroom is opened, trouble is it didn’t work. Problem there was the fact that the nut that held the wire to the switch had also vibrated loose!
That’s the water out of the way, no to the entertainment centre. One speaker started making a loud buzzing noise that drowned out any other sound from the system. Delved into the mass of wires, only to find that the last time the system was “repaired” the guy who did it must have been on drugs. The wires to the 3 front speakers had been cut, and the front speakers splice into the rear speakers!! Long story short, a new stereo is on its way.
Next casualty was the motor that moves the TV up and down, it refused to work. Had to strip it down and in the process one of the springs in the motor popped out never to be seen again. Quick trip to the local hobby store to find a suitable replacement. Got it all back together and finally working.
Meantime Lyn is cooking dinner, and complained that the gas burners weren’t very hot, e.g. water wouldn’t boil. Both tanks seemed to be at least 3/4 full, but were not feeding the system properly. Finally physically swapped the tanks over and got dinner. The problem seems to be in the automatic switchover unit which had been previously repaired by ….. you guessed it, the stereo repair man.
Finally the internet died, so I have the blog written on time but can’t post it.
