Guess how my day began??
I got a notice on my door yesterday that they were going to replace my water heater. Hooray, right? I can finally take a normal shower and not worry about running out of hot water. So, this morning they show up and start their work, and I'm in the kitchen making my lunch, and I hear this noise that sounds like the shower running.
I'm thinking to myself, "I'm really glad the bathroom is neat, because I didn't know they had to run the shower," when I hear the guy say, "Oh, $#!%!!!"
Not a good sign.
I rush to the hallway and see one of the other guys looking at me like, "Oh great, the tenant would have to be here for this," as he rushes outside, and I hear the first guy say, "I swear I turned it off." There's a steadily growing puddle of water in front of the water heater closet, and the inside--which also includes the air conditioner--is completely drenched.
I have to go to work now, and leave them to finish. What will I find when I return? What new growths of mold and mildew? What lovely new odors? What new stains on my hallway carpet? Only time and the heat of the Fresno summer will tell.
I'm off to make starwheels...

Ugh--water damage can be serious. At least you're renting so your landlord will have to take care of the damage. Or maybe it's just time to move...?
I haven't even been here a year. And I actually really like it here, for the most part. Hopefully, it will just all dry and stop smelling like a wet animal. Soon
Perhaps when you come visit next weekend, I can take a hose to the Truman and make you feel right at home. :)
That's about what it smelled like...wet dog. It's all better now, thank goodness. And boy is it nice to be able to relax in the shower and not feel like I have to rush!
