Some more tasks completed at our new house

Carl has been busy with lots of tasks around the new house (as if he did not already have enough with the motorhome!)...

We installed in a new keyless (combination) door lock on the front door so we don't have to carry our keys all the time around the community.

He got the new switch (that lights up when it is on) installed for the water heater.

He spent several days (bits of time over several days) trying to debug the issue that we weren't getting hot water at the kitchen sink... here he is examining where the pipes go from the water heater...

... and checking where the pipes go from another access point under the house.

Under the kitchen sink -- such a tight space! He found that the hot water was getting delivered to the faucet, but the faucet was not delivering it -- he determined that there was some restriction in the faucet. He hooked the hot water inlet up to the cold water input to the faucet and we got hot water (but no cold except when we just turned the faucet on). He worked on the faucet -- determining that there must be some debris in the hot water line -- used the air compressor to clear it out (though we never saw the debris) -- and now it is working (we hope that the debris has not lodged itself somewhere else that will later cause a problem). Then there was the challenge of re-tightening the faucet's connection to the sink -- we borrowed a basin wrench from a fellow resident and after much tribulation, we have both hot and cold water on demand at the kitchen faucet!

Whether it is a motorhome or a house, it's always somethin'!
