For about six or seven days last week we had very little hot water. We've had a lot of cloudy, rainy days, so the solar powered hot water heaters obviously weren't doing much. And the electric powered one was broken. It was difficult to do dishes and I took at least one, if not two, cold showers with the faucet all the way up to "hot." It wasn't fun. But they replaced it just about the time the sun came back out. You never know how much you rely on those things until they don't work! I’m glad you got the repairs done quickly!

I'm glad we were both home and able to deal with it. Plus, knowing that the repair folk would be here early in the morning got me out of bed. Sometimes, it's a struggle to get out of those warm covers if I don't have a compelling reason. I'm glad the water tank didn't explode through the roof. If that happened (and nobody was hurt) I would laugh my head off--because that's just absurd. Yeah, as crazy as it sounds I’m actually thankful it happened when it did.

DH and I were watching an episode of Myth Busters online yesterday and they confirmed the "myth" that a hot water heater can shoot off like a rocket if both safety features failed. I don't remember exactly how the first safety feature works, but the second one allows the water to overflow from the unit instead of building more pressure inside. I watched several hot water heaters "explode" for real... shooting it very far into the air (through roof tops and all), only to land minutes later! Praise God for the flooding it caused... it could have destroyed far more and injured many! Amazing how God takes care of us! I'm glad you guys and your stuff are ok!
