Today, it was back to the old basement to finally do something about the old hot water tank that died on us, shortly after we moved here. A job that didn't go as well as I'd hoped in some ways, while better than I hoped in others! 😀 Here is the state of the tank, … Continue reading Clean up: old hot water tank

Ups and downs and ups
So, things have been interesting for the last couple of days. Also, the folks renting the property are awesome. So is our plumber. Let me just back up a bit... Yesterday was supposed to be a "family meeting" day between my siblings and my mother. This was something she asked us to do, to discuss … Continue reading Ups and downs and ups

Really?
First, the good news. There is more of that. 😀 This morning, I woke up with no pain in my right hip. None. It was like I'd never had a problem with it. So weird! When I headed out this morning to feed the critters and do my rounds, I was greeted by an avalanche … Continue reading Really?

I'd already phoned and had instructions, but we'd never been to this location before, so my daughter and I … Continue reading Got it

Matched Set, and hot water woes
When doing my morning rounds, I used to get followed by at least Beep Beep and Butterscotch. Sometimes, other cats would come along, but it was usually those two in particular. That changed after they had their kittens. Butterscotch no longer even likes to be picked up anymore (I think it has become uncomfortable for … Continue reading Matched Set, and hot water woes

It almost worked (updated)
For the last while, we've had a sulfur (like rotten eggs) smell coming from our hot water. There are several possible causes for this. Because it's only there when we run the hot water, that comes down to only two possible causes. One is the rod in the tank needs changing. Since our tank is … Continue reading It almost worked (updated)
