Well last night was interesting. Around late afternoon I went into our utility room and noticed water in the floor. After further research I found that it was leaking from out water heater. At first I was like, "Oh Great!!!! Another expense that we can't afford" after all the dryer went out not to long ago.
I call my dad because he has become something of a jack of all trades in his OLD age. He comes over and we decide to call it. Yep at 5:00PM the Rheem (mentioned that for hopes that Rheem will start making water heaters that last longer than 6 years) died. Well I am thinking how can I fix the problem tonight so that I can get the money next week to pay for this little problem. So I decide that I will just cap the thing off until Tuesday. Well once we went to Lowes my father informs me that he and my mother want to buy us a water heater. First I think no dad I am a big boy now I will figure something out. Then I remember something someone told me one time about gifts. He said "If you deny someone a chance to give you a gift you are denying them a blessing". Well needless to say the new WHIRLPOOL water heater is in.
Thanks Dad for helping me with the install and purchase of a item that I really couldn't afford. I only hope to be half the father to my children. I know someday it will be my turn. I know that I will do the same. That goes for you too mom (LOL!! Didn't mean to leave you out).
