Is this darned leak sealed?

Today I isolated the source of Monday nights leak, sealed it, and tested the seal. Maybe, finally, this ordeal is behind me. Read about it at A Tale of Two Leaks.

Night camp

On my property off Less Traveled Road - The Home Place, Red Rock, East Chatham NY

  • I used to camp in a few locations on what little I had left of the family farm
    • In the driveway by the house
    • Across the road where the barn once stood
    • On the 20 acre piece off Less Traveled Road
  • Now, with the kind support of the friends who now own the place, I camp across the road where the barn once stood.
  • Verizon cell phone service - Terrible, barely usable with an amplifier
  • Verizon EVDO service - Terrible, barely usable with an amplifier
  • Find other references to Home Place
  • List the nights I've camped here
