OK, so continuing on my quest to see if the city water works... Yes, I know
the dangers of such a desire.
When we left off, our intrepid hero had just purchased a pressure reducer
(whatever they are called) and a hose from Walmart. It hooked up to the
secret lair, water had been turned on and had water draining beneath the
coach in two places. One by the passenger's rear wheels (bathroom), the
other on the driver's side in the middle (kitchen sink). At the time, our
hero could only find one valve, it was a compression fitting type valve
under the kitchen counter and it was closed and exited to no where...
Fast forward to today...
A flashlight and close examination the area under the sink in the bathroom
and revealed a valve. Sure enough, it was open. An examination in the
kitchen area above the heater (think that's the heater, haven't gotten that
far yet, it's been in the 100s here...) and two more valves were discovered,
both were open. All newly found valves were closed.
Our hero now felt it was safe to hook up the reducer and the hose to my
house. He didn't think to place the faucets in the off position before doing
this and returned to a sink half-full of soggy newspaper and water -- that
paper won't be making it to a future campfire... Our hero was slightly
amused by this, it doesn't take much to amuse our hero.
Our hero then ventured to the bathroom and proceeded to played with the sink
faucet. Fascinated as he was with running water, he wasn't really paying
attention to what he was doing and pulled the knob on the front of the
faucet. He noticed that that caused the water to bubble and pop as it now
drizzled out of the faucet. As he stood there perplexed and was suddenly
give the explanation as to what was happened when he got a quick blast of
cold water from the showerhead. Our hero was quite amused about his
confusion with the shower pull, after all, he had just pulled the stopper
from the drain so it couldn't have been a stopper lever...
Anyway, our hero's fascination and amusement was abruptly ended when the
initial compression-type valve gave way to the powers of evil and shot off
the end of the pipe filling the coach with water...
Our hero was last seen mopping the floor muttering something under his
breath about some ***** pressure fitting.
