Maintenance

So, the weekend was devoted to maintenance on the house.
Of course, this is an activity best done in the rain!

We pulled the dead hot water tank, which died back before Christmas, of course!
So been a cold one ever since!

Went to Home Depot, bought their best replacement.
We bought a GE last time and it only lasted 11 years!
I know back home, the house tank wasd of unknown age, I lived there 25 years and it was stiil just fine!
So that very expensive GE was a pile of .... er, "stuff"!
And we bought another brand!
You blow your one shot with me and there are no forgiveness over bad work or products.

Got the new tank completely installed around 7 pm.
And we had hot water.
Alas, no water pressure.
So, back under the house on Tuesday, I will go and see where we erred!

In the storm a week ago, the roof took a little damage.
So son has been up there tarring leaks.
(really this house just needs burned down!)

And this morning, I found that my clothes I threw in the dryer last night were still soaking!
So got to start off the day debugging the dryer and repairing it.
So I have some clothes to wear to church!
Of course I missed first service, now condemned to second service and crowd!
Maybe Gaelic Girl will go.
She is still struggling with major swelling and pain issues.
sigh ...

So keep her in your prayers!
