Wet an' more wet

Yeee Ha.....boy howdy, you talk bout some rain. I rekon this is the rain we was supposed to get 2 days ago all roll up in one gigantic thunder buster.

When the storm started last night, I put the living room slide out "in" to attempt to seal it against any water getting inside. Apparently that didn't work too well as the floor is saturated with a pond of water. This is not a good sign any ways you look at it. Now where the hell is my wet or dry shop vac? And why did the sealing gaskets at the top of the slide out not seal? Damn!!! This is not going to be a good day.

Disasters like this make me want to just give up and go live in a refrigerator box under a bridge somewheres.

Broke out the shampooer to pick up water. Boy howdy, there is a bunch. Now this may not sound like a big deal, get'n a little water on the floor, but down under that carpet an' pad'n, is a wood floor what will soften and rot if it stays wet for any length of time. Back to the draw'n board Billy Bob. This gonna be a fix to remember.

  1. When my washing machine broke, i had the same thing. Had to run fans for days with the carpet rolled back, humped up. BTW, we have a good bridge here,lol.

  2. Sounds like a plan, but make sure you put wheels on the refrigerator box (grin).

  3. Maybe it's time you got rid of that land slug and got a pickup and a new 5th Wheel camper, without slides.

  4. Can you drive that RV to El Paso or Deming? It'd dry out quick enough there.

  5. You could try out that bubba boat! Wouldn't even have to go outside!
    Drag your fan out, aim it at the carpet.

  6. Dang Billy Bob with all the things that have gone wrong with "Sally da house" and with some other RV'ers I follow, I don't think I ever want to own a motorhome.

    Think I will just stick to my van and one of these days be a vandweller.
