Construction Update


The new water heater is in, the pipes are moved and our hot water is back on. YEA!
Bryan decided he needed to move the water heater first in order to frame Nick's closet which involved moving pipes as well as the placement of the water heater. He decided this needed to happen Friday after work since his 2 days off this week are filled with other activities. So he started the project when he got home from work. I helped once I got home, and of course had to go get dinner that night since we had no water at all.

We worked really hard and got the whole thing moved, hooked up and started when a little drip started from the hot water connector hose. When Bryan went to tighten the connection it burst and water went EVERWHERE! I quickly got the water shut off and mopped up the water. Of course it happened just before Home Depot closed so there was no fixing it that night. We were able to disconnect the hot water and at least have the water turned back on. Then yesterday after Bryan got ome from work he fixed the hot water. So now we have hot water again, a new more efficient and bigger water heater and Nick will be able to have a bigger closet. All is good now!
