Woke up to a pretty blanket of snow. Just enough to cover the ground. Had a plumber out yesterday to drain our water heater because it is a free service with our yearly plan. Nothing like a slap in the face. It's only 5 1/2 years old and rusty sludge came out which means it could go out any day. DH has noticed popping sounds while sitting in his office and I have noticed that you have to turn the temp in the shower higher to get hot water. Why is it that things don't last as long anymore. They are back today to put in a whole new one to the tune of $4000 I know it would be cheaper to do it ourselves but can't risk DH messing up his back. Our son also has back issues and a busy work schedule. And son in law goes to sleep early every night because he gets up early. We are going with a 50 gallon tank this time and it should be more efficient for our three bathrooms and the large jetted tub we have that DH uses more now than we used to help his back. They offered payments and I talked DH into it because we could always pay it off quicker but on a fixed income you try to manage monthly expenses. BUT when they went to run our credit it had a freeze on it. LOL DH froze it for our protection and can't lift it because he forgot the pin number.
so much for that! I just hate taking large amounts out of savings and I don't want it to cut into our road trips.
Scrapping today and hoping to stay home all day but I do need to go out to mail some pics to my nephew.
Happy Friday!
