Well, we found out how much we are leaking. We knew the leak was between the RV hookup and the water meter. So, we turned off the water to the RV and ran off the water tanks. Dave read the water meter on his way to work. About 21.5 hours later we read it again and turned the water back on to the RV. We had lost 80 gallons. So, we figure we are losing about 100 gallons every 24 hour period. That is no small loss. Yes...it is smaller than the other leak...but not small. It is about 3000 gallons every month.
Tomorrow we will call the contractor and let him know. He definitely needs to come out and find it. We also need some dry days. It would sure make it easier to find the leak.
I cannot believe that I am sitting here smiling. I guess that just goes to show how deeply the Shalom/peace of Yahweh can run. Not that I am always so peaceful inside; but boy does it feel good when I am!
From our little RV on the hillside to wherever you are...may your home be blessed and your pipes never leak!

These are the mom's thoughts/ramblings about our life, spirituality and whatever else pops up. :) Please feel free to post comments and/or questions. I will get to them as soon as I can. We would love to hear from anyone who is reading along here.

Day Is Done! So is the Laundry!
Well, I actually got the laundry done today. The last load is in the dryer and that is OK. The water is turned off. Tomorrow we need to unhook the water hose and get the washer all covered up again against the freeze of Monday night.
I am actually feeling better! Woohoo! I sure hope my body keeps going in this direction. Today I made another pot of homemade chicken soup. It was sure yummy!
Dave is watching a video we borrowed from our church. It is by Robert McGee and is called "The Search for Significance". Very awesome message! If only more people could grasp what he is saying here. It is all right there in God's Word, but McGee has such a way of putting it that makes it jump right out at you. Our pastor has been teaching a class on Sunday evenings that is combining McGee's teachings with Neil Anderson's. Both have a very powerful message.
Well, the bed is made with freshly cleaned bedding. The video is coming to an end. Our son is getting ready to turn out his light up in his sleep area and I need to go take a shower. The kitchen area is cleaned and the food is put away. Night has fallen here on our hillside. The window covers are in and soon it will be time for us to go to bed.
We wish you Shalom from our Little RV on the Hillside.
