Habemus aquam calidam

On Saturday Grandma discovered that our 23-year old water heater was leaking. We called Lowes, which offered "same day replacement" if called before noon (which we did not do). Now it is Wednesday morning, and we finally have hot water. Unlike Home Depot, Lowes does not publish width specs on the web. Hence the first heater did not fit. But at last they found us one. It fit and it works.
All around the heater were vast amounts of MOLD. Gregg valiantly came in, ripped out the moldy sheet rock, and put in three wood panels. The utility room looks spiffy. Yesterday I scooched down on my butt to check it out. Great job.
What did I learn from this? Just that it's great to have a handyman in the family.
