I woke up this morning and discovered that I had no hot water.
The pilot light in my hot water heater had apparently gone out.
So, screwing my courage to the sticking place, I relit the thing.
No problem.
Everything's copacetic.
But then, when I took a shower, I ran out of hot water way too soon. Even for the measly amount my hot water heater produces.
I checked and the pilot light had gone out again.
What the fuck?
I was out of matches and, since we're talking about a major gas powered appliance here, I just said fuck it and called one of those 24 hour heating places. They're sending someone over to take a look.
In the meantime, I've turned the gas off to the hot water heater and am sitting here, blogging this, while waiting on the heat guy to show up.
Gee. I so love being a home owner. Not!
More later. - MEL
