I made it back from Indiana earlier this week. Have a trip planned in August and plan to go to Texas in October, but I'm here for now. The workers came Monday to start my screen room. That all came to a screaming halt a couple hours later when a board member stopped by and told me I didn't have the necessary park permit. Grrrr. I knew about the permit. I had hired the contractor in January and he told me he takes care of all the necessary permits, but apparently not. He told me twice on the phone that he had everything he needed when I asked him specifically about permits. So I quickly filled out the 2 line permit and turned it in. They told me 24 hours, but it's been 48. It will eventually get done but I'm a bit miffed. The board member had stopped 2 weeks ago when the contractor pulled up not knowing I wasn't here. He asked the contractor about the permit and was assured it was taken care of. I wonder why he didn't call me. . . my number's in all the park info. I guess they prefer stopping work once it's started rather than get it taken care of before there is a problem. It would have helped if he hadn't been so rude to me. Times like this I really miss Terry. He would have taken care of it all before hand. :-(
I did have a problem with my little rig this trip. It became harder and harder to take on fuel. I researched it and found it was likely a clogged vent tube on the gas tank. I was able to fuel enough to get to my sisters and then called around to see who could fix it. My local mechanic was out of commission due to an accident involving a chain saw, so I talked with the tech at an Elkhart truck business that works on motorhomes. He wasn't busy and said he would check it out. He did and cleaned out the clogged vent tube. He charged me two hours labor because he had to dropped the gas tank a bit, but he fixed it and I had no more problems all the way to Florida from Indiana.
