A Hot Water-Free House


The tankless, gas-operated water heater finally gave up the ghost. The pilot light has been pretty fickle lately and on Wednesday, the light went out and nobody has been able to relight it since. Not having hot water in the house isn't the end of the world by any means, but it sure makes showering a challenge. Thank goodness for the sun shower (and my mom who let me come over and shower this afternoon). Bright and early Tuesday morning, Friendly Plumbing is going to sweep in, take the offending unit out, do some stuff to properly vent the heater space, and install a new heater (a Rinnai, from what I understand).  I'm hoping that by Tuesday afternoon, I'll be able to start showering regularly again.
