my husband and his cousin, in from Topeka, this evening...
he rides a harley...
cheaper on gas...
and we had a nice visit...
the day started off pretty good...
then my hubby and I hear a noise...
couldn't figure it out right away...
weird noise...
so the morning goes on and we finally figure out the hot water heater isn't working...
my son got a shower...
but hubby and I needed one bad...
figures...
so I put in a desperate call to a friend...
I need her hubby to get with mine to check this out...
meanwhile, I'm online trying to find the best/ cheapest one I can find...
asap...
sticker shock is putting it mildly...
haven't bought one in years!...
yeah...
so my friends come right after lunch...
heating element...
we have about half of the water we used to for now...
we got showers!...
it's up and running, sort of...
my son will pick up the heating element tomorrow at the hardware store...
and friend will be back later this week to put it in...
in the meantime...
(did I mention said water heater is in our closet???)
while half of the stuff is out of the closet and laying on our bed...
my dh pulls the rest out and we clean and purge...
major purge...
like one very large rolling garbage can size...
plus two bags...
I had clothes over 16 years old in there...
shameful, I know...
but it's gone...
I really was a good girl and let go of so much...
there are tubs in the living room...
beside the bed...
waiting...
oh yeah, right before he comes back...
we have to drain the water heater...
hose from the heater to the toilet will work...
that's going to be fun...
I have carpet in the bedroom and my bathroom...
dumb...
I know...
will not do that again!...
so...it's been a day...
but I did get my nap in...
and our cold front came through!!!!...
71F right now...
