Let me preface this by saying that I'm really not complaining. No, really. I realize that even some of the problems I consider big, are really very small in the scheme of life.
However, I will say that lately it seems that there is always something going on. Yesterday morning we had scalding water coming out of our faucets. Now I like me some hot showers so usually I have the knob turned almost all the way to hot. But yesterday morning, it was unbearable. That kind of made us think something odd was going on.
Then last night, we realized that we had no hot water at all. Yikes. We went from flesh-burning hot, to frost-bite cold in a matter of hours.
Chris checked in the shed to be sure the hot water heater hadn't busted...it hadn't. I called my dad, jack of all trades, and he said it sounded like the element had burned out. Great, I thought. I immediately went online to price hot water heaters. A little ahead of myself...that's the way I am.
This morning we looked for a reset button (another suggestion from my dad) but we couldn't find one. We called Pastor Mike for a recommendation on a "guy" that could come take a look at it. But instead of a recommendation, he said he'd be over in about an hour. He's awesome.
He's here and pretty sure it's the element...but apparently they are only about $30 each and there's only 2 elements in the hot water heater. So, off they're going to Home Depot/Lowes and they should be replaced shortly.
Woohoo! I was actually thinking I'd have to go to the gym to shower today, but looks like, if I hold my horses, I might get a hot shower after all.
Happy day.
