New sewer hookup<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

At each step along the way in the construction of the shed in Ft Myers I posted a blog entry with an exclamation-point title (e.g., Insulation!<\/a>). I don’t own my summer site but my excitement at (finally!) getting a sewer hookup was similar to a major step along the way in the shed construction. I received many promises, starting with the day I arrived (“You will have a sewer hookup by this weekend”), all of which were broken. In total I went 26 days without emptying my waste tanks – a record which I hope to never break. It wouldn’t have been possible except that I am now a single guy living in an RV with 2 bathrooms with separate storage tanks. But by the end I was being very cautious with my waste – short flushes, not letting the water run when brushing my teeth, letting the dishes pile up before washing them and even tossing Rusty’s water outside each morning before refilling his water bowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I am now operating with a permanent sewer hookup, but temporary electric (20A, from the office) and water (a splitter from the owner’s hookup). That makes the situation considerably less miserable than a week ago, but still somewhere on the “miserable” spectrum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The campground owner still hopes to be open by July 4, but here is the situation just 4 weeks before that date: 8 sites with sewer, 6 sites with water, 0 sites with permanent electric. So what did he do this weekend? Built some picnic tables. Apparently he believes that RVers will tolerate a site with no utilities so long as it has a nice, new picnic table. Puzzling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
