    So many awesome little places. I can't imagine how much better it must be now without the big crowds. As for the other parts of the island, far from Bar Harbor, I loved going for morning drives solo while my wife slept in to check them out. So many awesome little coves stuffed with boats in the morning fog. It was a photographers dream.

    More rain overnight and still raining. Looks like it will be raining for quite some time. Maybe time to buy a boat.

    Water is down :rolleyes:, he's been doing what he could the last couple days but it works for less time each time til last night only a few minutes. Time to call a plumber. Dishes and laundry backed up and I need a shower "welcome to my home, I'm over here behind the pile of dishes " :binoculars:.

    Just a late word of advice. I haven’t been anywhere near Acadia nor have any plans to do so. Triple pricing for everything and 90000 out of staters. No place to park without running a marathon to get to town. I’m Happy people go there and not the good places, MDI as a whole is a tourist trap that I avoid like the plague.

    Glad you have water again.
    :thumbs:

    I'd have issues living where I'd have to truck water in.

    You were about to be a Castaway without a shower.

    Plumbing help? Beyond the air leak in main line we had sediment in our feeder
    lines- new cistern needs wait so thinking trying a whole house sediment filter. Suppose I can put in a 3/4" whole house sediment filter on a +/- 1.25" w reducers ?

    Oh the cruise ships still arrive, 2 a day. Stewmans went from slammed, to near silent after the cruise ship party had to depart at 9 pm. The locals are not happy about the cruise ships. I can't disagree. Uglyass ship in the harbor, clogging up the natural beauty and clogging up the town.

    Look at this ugly monstrosity. That's bar harbor straight ahead. 20190930_132601_HDR.jpg

    Eh, it's not that bad. MDI has it's hidden gems that not even all the locals know. But, that said, it was the off season, and the crowds I saw were probably miniscule compared to stupid season. Timing is everything.

    You can, but it may restrict flow a bit...and might clog faster than it is supposed to...of course 1.25" lines sound oversize for a single house, so it may be just fine...

    Huh. I have not seen a single cruise ship in my two visits up there. First time was a week, second was 5 days.

    I totally get the locals being unhappy! I love the busy harbor of moored fishing boats, even a few mega yachts at the town dock down the street from Stewmans, but no way to the cruise ships!

    The cruise ships are a fairly new thing. They just signed a new 5 year deal. The owner of the dock gets a fee for every passenger. Locals are not happy.
