Have I mentioned that our hot water heater isn't working? Well, our hot water heater isn't working. A couple of days before I left for DE, the hot water suddenly got very very hot. Then the next day, there was no hot water at all. Which sounds to me like maybe the thermostat.
Well we had been talking about getting an instant water heater last summer when we had the bathroom redone, but we couldn't swing it at the time because the bathroom ended up costing so much more than we had expected. So we decided that now is the time. It wouldn't make any sense to replace or repair the old heater when we really want the tankless heater.
The only problem is, the day I got back I called our plumber that we worked with before, and he was on another project for two weeks. Which really upset me at first, but when you think about it, since we have to schedule the gas company and the electrician, it probably would have taken almost that long even if he was available immediately.
He suggested that we repair the old heater in the meantime, but I think we're just going to tough it out. Rather than cold showers we've been heating water on the stove and filling the bathroom sink. Which is much less horrible than it sounds, especially now that it's warm again. The only cold water I have to use is to rinse my hair.
Today I got the Ikea dining table and sideboard put together. Here's a photo. It looks pretty good I think, so what if it's MDF and fake wood veneer. The table legs are real wood, it's just the top that's fake. We've suddenly gone from cramming all our dishes on top of each other, to having room to spare. Clearly we need more dishes!
