Mondays

Its definitely Monday, alright. Waking up to torrential rain and wind? Yep. Of course we did. Busted water heater? Certainly. How could it be any other way?
Hours of running up and down attic steps helping husband try to rig up something so we could have hot water for showers for just 1 night until the plumbers could get here tomorrow? Absolutely.

At least, at the VERY least hubby got home before we had catastrophic flooding in our house. So thats good news. Our water heaters were just installed so weird and complicated. There are 2. They are linked together. One goes out and they both stop working. It took a whole lot to unconnect them. Literally hours of trying to figure it out, cut and cap pipes, a couple of trips to the hardware store.....

Anyway, we have hot water on one side of the house. That would be the kitchen and Stephen's room. I will have to shower in the wrong bathroom tonight, but at least I CAN shower. The plumbers though...they have their work cut out for them. Its not just installing a new water heater (which they will have to do). It will be figuring out the complex configuration and simplifying it so that one heater will heat one side of the house, and not be connected to the other. Lots of plumbing to do in tight attic spaces. I don't envy them that job.

Just send us some happy thoughts that we get this all sorted out and have hot water all over the house by tomorrow evening.
