It's Never Nothing

It's Never Nothing.. that sounds like bad English, but it's the truth.  I'm really looking forward to the day when NOTHING is wrong - Nothing Needs fixing.

Today Myles and Trent went out to kill some chickens for me. For what ever reason, Trent went to his truck, and found there was a smell of gas. He looked underneath and found his gas tank leaking.  He rushed in to get a bucket to catch what he could, and then got to work to find out the problem.

This is what his truck looks like now



And this is what the problem is


A broken gas pump.

Well, I guess I know what I'm doing tomorrow, I'm driving him to the wreckers to get a new gas pump so he can fix his truck.   We need this truck, Stuart was planning on taking another load of garbage to the dump this week, and we need this truck to haul water. And our friend who has been helping us with hauling water with his BIG truck, his mother in law died yesterday, so he won't be available to help us in the near future.  Oh, did I tell you the pump in the basement to pump water through the house died on Friday night?

Ya, like I said, it's NEVER NOTHING

Sombra...

I am in awe that Trent knew how to fix his truck. You are doing an awesome job teaching your boys!

Oh, and that killing chickens thing is pretty neat too.

Oh, I feel for you!!!

It seems like we are constantly fixing things around here! With the incredible corrosion (life on the beach) and the intense sun and the cheesey materials they use, we are replacing stuff right and left...and our house is less than two years old! Already my kitchen faucet needs to be replaced and the drain field re-dug. Sigh.

Well, I'm glad that you'll be able to get the new fuel pump. I pray that the re-install goes smoothly and that you'll be able to get water soon. How far do you have to cart water? Do you have a cistern?
