No Hot Water!!

The rule of life is that when something inconvenient happens it will likely happen when it affects you most. Such is the case with our Hot Water Heater that's no longer heating water. It started Wednesday night (of course, things usually wait until night time to not function, right?). So, it was cool showers Thursday and this morning, and then going out into the frigid 12 degrees Fahrenheit (Tom to work and me with the dogs, as I'm working at home).
 So, we hired Ron the Plumber (a local plumber that has a state license, and is licensed to work with gas heated water tanks) to install a new one for us. Because he's installing on Friday, Rob got to work from home again (which is great). However, all of the water in the house was turned off during the day (so big bowls were filled with water for the dogs and COFFEE in advance).
 - It will be nice to have a HOT shower again... considering it's nasty to take a cool shower when it's so darn cold outside!
