If i...I take it the pump housing has corroded away? If it's cracked and not corroded, you may be able to epoxy it back together. I did a "temporary" repair on the water pump of a 1946 Ford truck that was on there for three more years(the housing had cracked). JB Weld, PC-7, something along those lines of "filled" epoxies sometimes hold up well.<br /> Some years ago, an uncle of mine "rented" a cabin in very rural Eastern Kentucky-the "rent" was just maintaining the property(clearing out brush, mowing,and that sort of thing-the only structure was a tiny cabin he lived in)-the owner was happy to have someone to do it..I suspect your landlady feels the same way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-632928765983902491.post-89635125034308066672010-12-04T14:16:01.560-07:002010-12-04T14:16:01.560-07:00"So how the hell are you supposed to service ..."So how the hell are you supposed to service the pump without dumping 2000 gallons of water onto the powerhouse floor?"<br />With a pipe-freezer, of course:<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYQAlG42yzMDOuglas2noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-632928765983902491.post-26292112117423751782010-12-04T10:09:52.389-07:002010-12-04T10:09:52.389-07:00Don't forget your entertainment value, Joel. I...Don't forget your entertainment value, Joel. I bet in person you're a real hoot! <br />Seriously, there is a lot of peace of mind in having a caretaker and someone there to just help. I have 40 more acres on the other side of the mountain that I can't keep an adequate eye on 24 hours a day, and unfortunately, that's where a lot of my "stuff" is. I'm trying to fix up the place so that one of my kids will move in and provide that security, but until then it's not protected. I bet Landlady sleeps well at night knowing you are there. Something I'd pay a nice price for.Big Woolyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01842793261362662170noreply@blogger.com
