Saturday afternoon, our water started getting a bit cool, not a good sign. I have always been comforted by having gas heat and water, if electricity goes out we suffer very little. Never did I think about a pilot light going out and not wanting to stay lit.....Oh boy! I had no idea the amount of times I use the hot water, being an excessive hand washer (always in the kitchen) and food prep then the clean up and how about a nice warm shower every morning.
The gas man just left and it looks like it has nothing to do with their part of the system, so that means it will need to be replaced and preferably by.....YESTERDAY!
Now that I have had to move many things around and found far too many dust bunnies, or maybe I should say dust bears, I have decided it is time for a good clean out..wish me luck.
Hope you are having a good week, with no 'surprises'. xo

(:
Hope you get hot water soon!!! It's amazing how much we rely on our everyday amenities!!!
Stay warm!
Chris :o)
Oh dear! We have had a surprise of two of our outlets on the fritz for no apparent reason, not good though better than no hot water!
I am due for a big clean out as well, I wish you luck and beware of dust bears.
Oh I know the feeling of no hot water and it is a very unpleasant one, I hope you get hot water very soon. Good luck with your clean up.

Bummer - we had our's go out once- while trying to get ready for work...hope you get it fixed fast!!
Three cheers for modern days!!
Oh that's horrible. Hope you are able to have a nice hot shower very soon.
ps - whenever a pilot light refuses to stay lit in our house, it's usually been something called the 'thermocouple'. It's just a thin copper wire that burns out easily. Ask your guy to double check before shelling out for a new boiler. xx
Cold showers aren't fun in July let alone January! Hope you can get it replaced right away:@)
I do hope you get this fixed ASAP! This happened to us a couple of years ago. No fun!
dust bears...*LOL*
wishing you hot water soon!

Oh no, what a horrible thing to have happen and at a bad time of year! Brrr.
We just had our water softner go out and when my hair turned orange from the iron......momma got right on it...450.00 later though, good luck
Yikes! Good luck to you. I definitely take hot water for granted, especially in the middle of winter. I hope you can get it fixed soon.
Ugh - I don't know what I would do without hot water. Beg my husband incessantly until a new heater magically appeared....
you'll just LOVE your city house woodburner- but I bet right now all you really want is some hot water!
Thinking of you and sending WARM virtual thoughts!

...we know how we really appreciate something especially HOT Water!
