Looks like a garage sale doesn’t it.

WRONG - - our hot water heater leaked. (December 7)

Our basement had about 3 inches of water in it. They say things usually happen in threes? This has gotta be number three!!

So we emptied out the basement and squeegied the water out. But in order to dry it out we had to live like this for a few days. We only had 2 things go missing – and they were small things. We count ourselves blessed – someone could have backed up a pickup and loaded it all…. We had everything we own out there!

We had an RV guy (John) originally from the Fraser Valley come out to look at it on Thursday. Basically the tank had to come out, before we would know if it could be repaired or if it needed to be replaced and he didn’t seem to eager to do this, so Michel busied himself all afternoon, disconnecting everything so he could remove the water tank. But as I said in an earlier blog – Michel is capable of anything. He took it all apart and tinkered away – he found the leak – found the part to fix it and put it all back together again… By Saturday we had hot water.

HI there
It sure does look like a garage sale I thought maybe you had been out bartering...I figured Sandy bought some new shoes and so 1 item in 10 items out...lol. Glad you got it fixed and that nothing was wrecked.
