At least you didn't loose an eye in the process! :B
I procrastinated on winterizing my MH until the day the weather report predicted freezing rain turning into snow and 20 degrees.
I was out there in the freezing rain running around like crazy trying to winterize my MH.
I went to take the drain plug out of the hot water heater and that plug came flying out at my face like a guided missile. Damn near took my eye out.........I forgot to shut the water supply off before attempting to take the plug out. :S
Yup we have ALL been there done that at one time or another.
