Kind of back on a normal schedule but a little different, so is it a good morning, of course it is a good morning, we all woke up this morning, so be happy today. By the way, next week on this day (Wednesday) something will happen, are you ready?
What did we get done yesterday, will I did very little other than watch and ask questions while a plumber worked. My first job after high school was working for a plumber. Now I was not a plumber but a helper. I will say by the time that job ended I was able to do a lot of the work without supervision.
Back to the work yesterday, after dropping the kids off at school I came home and took a short nap then I did my daily bible reading, not homework for the bible study, I read from the bible which is different from the bible study reading. I decided to go to the bank and cash a check that our insurance company sent me, $25.00, then I went to the star coffee place for a cup. While I was sitting in line, I got a call from the plumber saying they would be on their way shortly. I explained that I would be there in about 20 minutes. I made it to Dave’s house before the plumber and I got the garage door open and waited outside for him to arrive.
He came up and looked at the ole heater, then went back to his truck and got a couple tools. I explained to him that the breaker was tripped but he should check the wires with his tester before he started, he agreed. He started taking things apart and draining the heater. Once the heater was emptied of water, he was able to get it out of the closet in the garage and set it on the driveway, photo to follow.
Someone brought the new heater to the house, and it was in a big box. The plumber was able to get the big box off the new heater, and he moved it into the closet where he was able to get it on the water overflow pan. The pan is there in case of a leak and it has a drain that keeps the water out of the house.
He connected the water lines to the heater and ask that I open the hot water on the kitchen sink which helps get the air out of the heater as the water fills the heater. He connected the electric lines and ask that I turn the breaker on. I said I would, but I reminded him not to touch the wires when I turned the power on. He said he would test with the voltmeter. When I returned the power was on. I got the air out of the pipes and the job was complete. I have a photo of the new heater as it was completed and heating the water.
MY wife and I did sit outside for a while yesterday afternoon as the weather was very nice. It the yard gets dry enough, we will try to remove the leaves this weekend.
Today I will take the kids to school and since they are having finals, I will pick them up at 12:30 and take them home.
Well, I guess that is it for now, we hope you have a good day and please stay safe in all you do.
Heater installed.

May today be better than your best day, but not as good as tomorrow!
