Water heater

[elizilla]

This morning we had no hot water. Last night I could hear the water heater cycling (it's always been noisy) and wondered why it was doing that when no one was running any water. I guess I must have been listening to its death rattle. It's old and I have already had to repair it once. Not going to do it again; the price of repairs versus replacement just doesn't make sense. (Plus, last time it was electrical, a fried control unit. This time I think it's just the tank going bad, which you can't fix anyway and they all do it eventually.) Since I am covering for a vacationing colleague on the west coast today, I was free in the morning, to go to Lowes and order a new hot water heater. There was only one choice so I ordered it. They tried to get me on the install schedule for today, but they just called and it's gonna be tomorrow morning. Stay tuned.
