Here He Comes to Save the Day!

A few days ago we opened our electricity bill and it was over $300! (About twice what it should be.) We were less than pleased. So we got to thinking about that annoying thing our water heater's been up to, giving us about 10 minutes of comfortable shower time and then falling to COLD-COLD-COLD. We also went exploring and found a heater vent filter that we didn't know existed, and therefore had never changed- heh heh heh... sigh. So no prob- Matt changed the filter, and while at Home Depot he checked out the water heaters. He did a little research, got a couple new parts, and voila! A couple bucks and a half hour of work later we had HOT WATER! It's a miracle. And now, next month's bill may be a bit less dredful. Apparently when water heaters get sick, people's power bills tend to shoot up. But now all is well; the day has been saved. Am I the only one who's marveling over the way a man can just figure out how to solve these problems? While Matt was out taking care of things, I was home worrying about where to pull in the budget to pay for a water heater guy to come put in a new one. So like I said, miraculous! Ta-da! Kisses to you, Babe!
