Our Country Cottage A Narrative

In this episode I will get you more up to date with the goings on at OCC and there are changes at the web site. On with the OCC update. When last we talked I had basically shut OCC down by draining the water, putting RV antifreeze in sink and tub traps. The toilets were drained of water but then filled with RV antifreeze and then flushed. This ensured no water was left in the mechanism and the bowel had only antifreeze in it. The toilet shut offs were the only taps I closed. If I left them open the antifreeze in the tank would siphon out. Any liquids that might freeze if the generator failed were collected and removed. I was running an experiment leaving the boiler on and only having the thermostats for the two bathrooms operating. My first day trip of the year had me almost going off the driveway, gad. I noticed when I entered OCC I could smell a sickly sweet, maybe, odour. It was the RV antifreeze in the toilet bowels that would evaporate over time and require adding some more to keep the trap
