It has been interesting creating and updating my own youdeparted.com account and it has forced me to rethink some of the information I have posted to the site.
For example, shutting off the water in the winter. If you read my last post, I added information about shutting the water off. As I started to write it, I realized how difficult it would be for anybody but me! Not only is the valve in a very difficult place, but once you get to the valve, (you have to twist and turn yourself around all kinds of obstacles) you need to have a bucket handy. Next, you have to somehow thread the bucket through all the pipes to catch all the water draining from the outside lines. Otherwise the little room gets about two inches of water all over the floor.
So…until I wrote it out, I just never thought it would be so complicated. Now I realize it’s time to make it simpler. I’m going to move the water valves, connect a pipe so it can drain outside so you don’t need the bucket anymore. Okay, this is a small thing, but I noticed man details which need improvement.
Every time I use the site, I feel I’m getting more organized and changing some of my methods. This not only will make it easier for my family when the time comes, but it’s making things easier for me now.
