Say good by to my little nest egg..........

So last night we were having a pleasant evening. I gave Kiersey a bath - Kaia's homework was done. They were fed. David came home from work took a shower and got cleaned up. Next thing we hear is water flowing - We thought it was the fridge filling the ice maker - no it wasn't that. Walk out to the garage where the water heater is and the sound is a lot louder. I open the front door and water is gushing everywhere! What a headache.

The plumber came this morning. A new water heater, pressure regulator and some lovely re-piping to get the new water heater to fit - my money for a rainy day is gone. I am not happy. But then when I think about all the damage we could have had, flooding in the house, a fire (you'll see from the picture below) I am thankful that it wasn't any worse.

It could have been so much worse.

What a mess! I'm so glad your house is still standing and NOT on fire--that heater looks like it was ready to burst into flames! Doesn't it seem like every time you get a little money put away--something like this happens and you have to start over. You guys were really watched over--so glad everyone is okay.

That is why it is good to have money put away. Can you imagine if you didn't have it saved?!?! So sorry that happened. We are still redoing our basement after a flood 2 years ago.
