No hot water????

Thursday morning when i got in the shower I noticed that the knob for hot/cold was way over on the cold side, and I was wondering why Hubs would have taken a cold shower this morning before work. So before I turned on the water I moved the knob to warm (not hot), and when I turned the water on it was scalding, and the knob ended up where it was at when I got into the shower. (So I guess Hubs wasnt so crazy, well maybe!) I didn't think much of it for the rest of the day.

So Friday morning, Hubs got up to take his shower and I stayed in bed and thought that I would go back to sleep. But Hubs didn't stay long in the shower and then I heard him go upstairs (Our living space is upstairs and bedrooms are downstairs.) and I was wondering why he wasn't in the shower long and then was going upstairs in his towel. I asked him what the heck he was doing, and he said that we had NO HOT WATER!! He had gone upstairs to the garage to check the breaker, but the problem wasn't there. He was not happy about not getting to take a shower.

So I ended up calling our Landlord and he came later in the day and spent three hours (4:30-7:30pm) working on our water heater. Hubs and I felt weird just sitting around while he worked, and we couldn't go anywhere while he was here. But we suffered through it.

So then I woke up in the middle of the night (sleepless like I normaly am.) and checked the water, and it was freezing still. I was frustrated because I have some towels I want to wash in hot water and I have my dishwasher full of dirty dishes needing washed plus another load full in my sink and on my dishrack waiting to be washed in hot water also. When  Hubs  woke up in the morning, I asked him something about a reset button on the hotwater heater, and what ever it was that I asked him he wasn't sure about.

So  Hubs  decided that he just could not go another day without taking a shower so he decided that he was going to take a cold shower (ok, so he IS crazy enough to take a cold shower.) I told him that I would heat some water on the stove and he can take a sponge bath, but he wanted a shower! Okaaaay! And I thought that this would be pretty funny. So he got in and he kept trying to say "This is cold!" But he could hardly breath so his words were so broke up, you could hardly understand him. His shower lasted less than two minutes, and I don't know how he lasted that long. And then I ended up heating water and washing my self up that way. I think my way was better.

So this morning (Saturday), I had  Hubs  call our Landlord back and tell him that our water is still cold. And he told  Hubs  that he would be over later with a new thermostat for it. The Landlord then called back a few minutes later and had just remembered that there was a reset button on the waterheater and that he had forgotten to reset it (how convenient!) So  Hubs  reset it and I am still waiting for hot water, I think I have to wait a few hours.

I sure hope it gets fixed today, because I want to take a real shower before church tomorrow. I don't want to have to call someone to see if we can come over a shower and take all of THEIR hot water.

I guess, to be continued...
