Cleanliness is next to?

Sometime on Saturday, our hot water heater stopped working. Since it was 17 years old, it was probably time. We washed a few loads of laundry on cold only. We pretended we were camping by boiling the water to use for washing dishes. Then, since it was only going to be one full day before a new water heater would be put in, just skipped on showers/baths.

Today when the new hot water heater arrived, it was too tall. The correct size to fit in our pantry could not be found anywhere in our little town. One was ordered and will be here sometime tomorrow. Another day of boiling water to wash dishes. This time we added in drawing baths, ala Maverick. While it wasn’t too bad today, I sure hope the one coming tomorrow fits.

    I hear these kinds of stories and it makes me never want to have my own home. All things plumbing terrify me. Hope the new one shows up pronto!
