So it appears that this is the week for your hounorable host (um, that’s me) to have plumbing problems.
First up, leaky garbage disposal. Well, it leaked until it feel off of the sink anyway. A quick phone call or three procured the parts and my way-handier-than-me brother-in-law came over to assist with the repairs. There is still some minor leakage, but nothing I can’t fix myself.
Next up, I’m sure you already have guessed, is a bad water heater. I try to take a shower and there isn’t any hot water. ugh. A quick check shows water leaking profusely from the tank top and sides. More phone calls determine that yes, the unit is bad.
When is the last time you took a cold shower?
I will tell you know that it sucks butt. No, wait, it blows dead bears. No, that’s not it either. It’s just wrong on every level. Cold showers are the work of the devil.
Hopefully I can replace the unit tonight with again an assist from the handier-than-me brother-in-law.
