No hot water today. You wouldn't BELIEVE the amount of sand we've gotten out of our water heater. I spent some time last night mopping it up out of my tub, until Rob finally opted to drain the whole darn thing and flush it.

O'course that means we slept with the alarm off and the back door open, last night, with a hose running down to the street pouring out water.

In other news, the entire house smells like "barbecue sauce reduction". (The air return for the heating system is just outside the kitchen.)

Last night I dreamed of breaking into restaurants.

OK, time to shower. (Water Heater #2.) I hope #1 is back on line in time to do dishes, 'cause I have people coming over at sixish. Maybe I'll feed them barbecue corned beef! (Kidding.)

oh yikes! i hope the water heater gets fixed/replaced soon. i remember the trail of rust left behind when mine was replaced at my apartment. the thing was chock-full of gunk, and the maintenance guys didn't bother to clean up the mess they'd made dragging the thing up from the basement. You're very lucky to have two separate plumbing systems!

O'course that means we slept with the alarm off and the back door open,

*giggle* i thought you meant "alarm clock" and couldn't figure out what on earth that had to do with any of this.

Last night I dreamed of breaking into restaurants.

golly, i can't understand why! did you wake up starving, too?

good luck with your soiree tonight!

My first reaction to that was horror! I had just finished posting this entry (http://www.livejournal.com/users/sunnydale47/734709.html), and for a split second I thought, "Oh, no, they had to leave the door open???" Then my brain kicked in and I remembered that you're in California!

But I looked up the northern CA wx, and it looks like you're still in the mid-forties overnight, which is still awfully chilly to have to have a door open wide enough for a hose to fit through.

How did the sand get into the water heater? Image
