Well it is done! Drained, winterized and valves back to "use" position so all I have to do is flush everything, probably in Jan. because the DW is talking about a trip to FL then.
The operation did not go all that well. After running the slide out so the drawer will open with just enough room to remove the two drawers, things went downhill. Taking out the top drawer it pulled out of the RH track first, my grip slipped and it fell twisting the LH track apart and fell on floor spilling everything. By now I have the sticky grease from the tracks on my hands so I don't want to touch any of the clothes so remove the bottom drawer and turn up side down on bed. This way I won't get any grease on anything else.
Wash hands, tell DW it's time for her to come out and open and close faucets while I mess with the bottles of pink stuff. Before that happens I have to explaign why I dumped the clothes out on the bed. The rest actually went fine except the half hour it took to figure how to pop the center track with two ball bearing strips back between the inner and outer track. Jim.

Jim,
If there's any way to reconstruct the access to the bypass valves, it would be high on my modification list. Most folks can't do a good job with cabinetry and drawers and such but a good cabinet man can do amazing stuff.

Good on 'ya for getting the Winterization done. If anything, getting grease on your hands tells the Missus you've been hard at work, lol. :B
