The Heat is On!



Well the joys of being a home owner have once again graced us! Our water heater decided to start leaking on Thursday night. We went to the store and were told that of course they could deliver and install a new one for us over the weekend with inflated HOLIDAY prices and we in turn said "no thank-you". It was leaking but not that bad, plus we had guests coming and did not want to sit around waiting for the repair guy to show up (late probably). So Tuesday morning was the scheduled time of the service.

Tuesday morning came and the guy showed up with our new water heater and the information that he was not going to be able to install it for us. He proceeded to tell us that there was a pipe that he "felt" might have asbestos so he could not do it. WHAT! Our house is not that old there is no way we have asbestos. So basically we just paid him to bring out our water heater and that was all. So then Dan had to spend the rest of the evening on Tuesday changing out pipes and installing our new water heater. Fabulous. Good thing he is a handy guy.

Stink!! I hate it when stuff like that happens! It usually takes a chunk out of savings too! Good thing Dan is smart about those kinds of things. And you'll have super hot water too! Cute fireplace in your last post by the way! Love the red!

I hate home repairs. Good thing your husband is handy. We just put sprinlers in the backyard. I can't believe how busy a home makes you. Thanks for the comment on my blog a few weeks ago. I didn't see it until today. I hope things move quickly and you guys get a baby soon.
