Danger!

All is right with the world. Ahhh... I think I just needed a shower. Sunday I got a shower after my ride. Monday morning as it was freezing when I woke up due to the lack of heat neither Marc nor I took one, we just got dressed and went on our way. No problem right. Just one day. Then came Tuesday morning.
I get up and turn the shower on to heat up and brush my teeth then I check the shower and it's still cold. mmmm So I do something else, and check again, still cold. At this point I'm running out of time, so I quickly wash my hair and tell Marc there's no hot water and I leave for work. A couple hours later I get a call from Marc. Turns out when we ran out of propane our pilot went out on the hot water heater. Great.
So last night I come home and I ride, thinking I'll get a shower shortly when Marc gets home to light the pilot. Then I had to go to guitar. Yeah I was funky. But hey, what ya gonna do. I had to ride. So I piled on deodorant and changed into fresh clothes and headed off. When I get home Marc is in the basement reading the instructions. Turns out they're not real easy to follow and there's only about a billion warnings you could kill yourself. So we get more and more nervous. After numerous phone calls trying to get a hold of someone that could give us some kind of guidance, Marc reaches Tom. Yeah! So Tom walked us through it. Finally we got it lit and it started working. Unfortunately water doesn't heat up immediately, so off to bed we went.
This morning it was great. I got up and turned on the hot water and there it was. I filled the bathroom with steam, ahhhh so refreshing. I've been in a better mood all day.

I KNOW I shouldn't be laughing...but your picture of the water heater is sooo reminiscent of my infamous 'dryer shot' that I couldn't help but giggle snort and muck up my thirty three year old monitor (property of RA School District).

glad you guys have both heat AND hot water, these days.

lovely things...both of them.
