Like with many businesses, there is maintenance to be done each Spring once the camps are reopened for the season and this year will be no different than others. We had everything open and hooked up a good week ago and I had went back and checked for leaks. I found everything to be fine; nothing spraying or hissing, therefore thought "good"! It would have been nice to not have any winter damage; reason we antifreeze everything.
Well yesterday we had a worker helping out with a few things and offered the shower house to him after the day was done to get cleaned up. He came back to the house with not the best news......one side of the shower house was flooded....I mean flooded! One of the shower fittings apparently was leaking, or should I say running as it must have been because 2 shelves loaded with linens were soaked as well as about an inch of water on the floor and under the flooring....disaster with guests coming in the end of the week!!tightened the fittings once again and I still can't see how I could have possibly missed it when I checked last Thursday for the umpteenth time! We wiped things up as good as possible, but of course could not get under the linoleum and the blue board on the walls next to the shelving seemed saturated in good shape. Therefore, I left a fan on and the door open all night and have not yet been brave enough to go and see what has to now be replaced, repaired and fixed. I thank Mother Nature for bringing us some sunshine and good weather for a few days as this would have been even worse, imagine, had it still been raining. My nemesis "Blackcloud" has been in the house lately with the dreary weather and the healthy hatch of blackflies that drive me back into the house as I yell "RETREAT"!!! So now...take a deep breath...and lets go estimate the damage....
