To the Rescue

First thing this morning I called the company that installed our water heater in July to tell them what was going on. As they always are they were very nice and put us on the priority list. In fact, they said they were sending out the same guy that installed the water heater. And the wonderful news: there is a 6 year warranty on the water heater. Whew!!!!!!

At 10am our friendly water heater guy showed up. He noticed 3 things going on. 1) The small gas leak 2) One of the pipes they installed in July was leaking and 3) The thermostat on the water heater was too low for us to get really hot water

He is here fixing all of these free of charge. The thermostat was blamed on the guy that was here working with him. That works for me.

We are getting snow this morning and are praying that we can get out to the gym once our water heater is fixed. I think it would do both me and Laura some good to get out of the house for a while today.

I'm like you all...gas scares me. Thank god I'm in a total electric home this time.

We broke out about 10:30 this morning. The roads were better than we both expected once we got to the main ones. The morning commute could be interesting indeed tomorrow.
