Let's give a big shout out for HOT WATER! You never know how much you love it until you don't have it. Our 15 year old hot water tank stopped suddenly on Saturday morning. Old age was what the final diagnosis read (I am taking Medical Vocabulary I). The plumber gave us an estimate and promise of delivery and installation of a new one for Monday the 8th. We could all hardly wait. We hadn't showered. The laundry was piled and the dishwasher needed to be run.
Monday morning the company calls and says, "Oh he gave you the wrong price. It's $600 more than what he told you and we have to order the tank. It will take 10 days."
Thank you anyway.
To make a long story short the plumber's who were able to install the heater same day were the one's who don't advertise on TV and who drive the beat up van. They answer their own phone and actually return your phone calls. We ended up putting in an electric hot water heater which was half the price and available for same day installation. By late in the afternoon we really didn't care, just put it in already so I can wash my hair!!!
