We are going out this morning to try to find the cover for the heater. When Joan removed the ice she didn't notice that the cover had come off with it. I was busy clearing ice from the cover over the hot tub. Priorities.

I made a temp cover with a plastic bag and gaffa tape last night,

Edit:
Found it and it is back in place. Temperature now about +3 degrees out side and the icicles on the house roof are now dropping like spears.

The problem is that it snowed again after the ice came off so we are going to have to try to melt a pile of snow with hot water in a hope of finding it. None of the chunks of ice we have uncovered so far even shown a sign of the cover.

This icicle must have been about 9ft all told as it touched the ground from the top of the Motorhome.

Hi Derek, I don't wanna be a kill joy I enjoy the jokes as much as the rest and would not want admin to come down hard and stop them completely, It would help if we either had a 'Not for kids' thread or perhaps a warning in the title again just putting 'Not for kids' would work for me I can then ensure that I don't open them when Joe and Allison are looking over my shoulder,
thanks :)
 
At last we have water!
For the last 4 days we have had carry 25ltr drums from a neighbours house, 200mtrs away.
A bit of a thaw is taking place, but snowing again now, and expect it to freeze again later tonight:eek:
The MH heating and hot water is on, could not use the shower until yesterday, due to an internal frozen pipe in the void in the bathroom, so purchased a fan heater and defrosted the pipe, also the waste pipe from bathroom to tank. Autocruise numptys had placed a bend in the waste pipe under floor of MH to act as a U bend.
I ask you do these manufacturers know what they are doing.
So back to normal for now, and piping will be modified before next winter.

Happy Camping:)
 
Positively balmy in Gateshead. :)

I grew some face furniture when the cold spell began. I think I look distinguished but my wife disagrees. She says that she will get me a shopping trolley for my worldly goods but I have to find my own park bench to sleep on.

I have posted a photo so that the members with children can put a copy on the mantlepiece to keep the kids away from the fire. :D

If it stays mild then its coming off, (the beard I mean) :rolleyes:
