Words you don't want to hear from your wife: "Hey, how come I'm not getting any hot water?"
There's really only one likely answer: the friggin' water heater has expired. And unfortunately, when water heaters die, they don't just go. They GO.
Sure enough, when I finally moved all the garage junk out from in front of the door to the water heater closet, I found water. We began a massive response operation: moving stuff out of harm's way, dragging in a hose, running back and forth to the PC to find advice on the Web on draining/shutting off the water heater, etc.
And then more words you don't want to hear: "Hey, the carpet in here is wet."
Crap! The crisis has now elevated. Furniture-moving, Shop-Vac'ing of wet home-office carpet, pointed discussions about what the hell we do with the soon-to-be-moldy carpet.
Can I ask one question? Why would they build a house with a water heater closet that drains into the house instead of away from it?
