Don't Do This....

Came home for a few days to avoid the holiday camping crush.
It's hot here so I left the windows and doors of our trailer open.
Turned on the sprinklers to water the lawn....well, you can get the picture......:S

I am a fanatic about preventive maintenance to prevent roof leaks..The roof didn't leak, BUT, somehow some water got inside the trailer....:h

    Look at it this way...... you were just using the "automatic wash" method.

    Pulled into a Walmart for an overnighter by a grassy area. About midnight, it started to rain...then it stopped...then it started again...then it stopped...darn automatic sprinklers!

    At least I was smart enough to remove the sprinklers close to where I park my trailer LOL!
    We got home yesterday, notnto avoid the crowd but because our time was up.

    I thought of that but....
    My HOA covenants forbids parking on top of sprinklers....:)

    I see the damage in your signature. Wow. You must have left the sprinkler on for quite awhile.

    Needs to lower the water pressure a bit. :B
