How long must this day go on?
Sep. 28th, 2009 02:18 pmWell, this month decided to deal on last parting blow before it ended in the form of the death of our hot water heater.
On Saturday the home heath provider that takes care of Grandma called our attention to the fact that there was a waterfall eminating from the top of your water heater shed. Which caused us to have to shut the water off in the house. We couldn't get ahold of our plumber, so the weekend was spent with no showers and no toilet. It was not a fun thing. So finally today the plumber comes and says the last thing I wanted to hear: The water heater is unsalvagable and needs to be replaced. With 3 more days until we have money, this came at a very bad time indeed. So they call their boss and he calls me and we talk for a few minutes and he tells me that to replace the Water Heater it will be about 500$, and their payment system is; pay half now, and then make payments for the remainder. We don't have 250$ right now, so it looks like it's going to be a few more days at least before we have hot water again.
On the very small upside, they managed to cap off the flow of the water to the hot water heater, and turned the gas off to it. So we at least have cold water for cooking and toileting. After the eye problems, computer problems, and now this, I'm quite ready for this month to be over. Even the things that went right seem to pale in comparrison to all the things that have been wrong this month. This crappy month need to be killed...with FIRE.

Update: My Mother in Law called the plumbing company and they're supposed to come by today and replace our Water Heater. They'll probably bill us for it. But I'm not sure that she realizes that they're also going to include labor costs for installing the thing. It's a very stressful end to a very stressful month.
