A fun day...

| No Comments

I must have offended the plumbing gods somehow.  First, having the pipes freeze on me.  Second, having the drain for the kitchen sink plug up requiring me to crawl about under the house splicing in a new length of drainpipe.

Last night, I noticed that the hot water was not as hot as it should be.  Water heaters have two elements and I figured that one of them had burned out so my plan was to determine the make and model this afternoon and do a quick run to Home Depot tomorrow after coffee.  The water was hot enough to shower and wash but not as hot as I like it (scalding).

I am working at home today and went into the back bedroom - it is used for dead storage so I do not go there often.  I walked past the back bathroom and was greeted with the sound of running water.  The hot water going to the shower was leaking - faster than the water heater could keep up.  The pipes were damaged in the freeze but not enough for me to notice.  They let go yesterday sometime.

Got the water shut off at the street.  Time to start demoing the wall and find out what is happening...
