We came to the houseboat today, to do a bit of work. I've been having an issue with the toilet supply line, and modified the seal to allow for more thread capture by the supply line. Deb washed all the bed linens, and brought them back to put those back on. I replaced the little cheapie blind on the front door with a pull-down shade. I still have a little bit of work to do on the trim around it. Boy, it's windy and cold on the lake, today!
Spent a little time at the houseboat, doing a bit more maintenance. Had a huge windstorm on the night of the 20th! Here's a few pics and a vid...
Brrrr...it was cold on the morning after the big windstorm!
Got a bit more done at the houseboat, today. Got the Martin house back up, rehung the rebuilt front door sign, and worked on the heat pump a bit.
We came up to the houseboat on March 8th to do a bit of maintenance, fill the on-board water tanks, etc. Here's a few vids and pics..
Kinda calm early...
After a crazy busy few days, doctor's appointments, etc, a trip to the water was seriously needed. This is a little walk down "B" dock to the houseboat, at night. Here's a little video...
Next, a couple of vids from the 29th, and a boat ride on the 30th.
We have a hard freeze (low teens) coming tonight. The heat pump was a little low on freon, and I was worried about the houseboat/plumbing freezing. I came up here and topped it off with freon, and found what I believe is the small leak that's been bugging me.
When I unbolted the battery box and moved it, I discovered one of the ports to be lightly oily. I tightened the Schrader valve and checked it with liquid detergent, and no bubbles!
This is a 38 seer (!!!) Mini-split and is efficient down to 0°F! It's been running 2 years, and I love it!
A few pics from the Steele Creek Marina, Jan 11 2025. About 3" of fluffy white snow!
