Gas tanks

The gas tanks are hooked up again.  Derald tried to light the hot water heater...no go.  He tried to light the refrigerator....no go.  He lit the oven and stove and it has a small flame.  By the time I got home he also had been looking up pricing for replacements!  Buyer beware.  Make sure you don't take the word of the person selling the trailer when they say:  everything works.  We should have hooked a gas tank up to the trailer and tested everything.  But, we didn't.
On the bright side I have used one bottle of the green cleaner and the walls and ceiling look better.  Not clean yet, but I'm getting there. I may have removed 20 of the 48 years of smoke and grease.  Derald tracked the leak (well one of them) to a rivet!  Tape / water, tape/ water, bingo.  It wasn't that simple but it was a lot of taping and water drills.  Glad it was 80 degrees.  Now he is wondering the proper way to seal a rivet without taking the inside skin out.  Well if he did that, he could fix the dent!  :)
