God believes I'm worth it...

[cat03]

gather around children, to hear my victorious tale of me vs. the water heater...

So, armed with C2H's info I get home, fumble a bit more with the thing, and still can't get it to light. Asked my neighbor to please ask her H to come look at it, she says yes, I will tell him. Two hrs later nothing, a girlfriend comes over, still no clue (she had same problem before w/her heater)
I then bother my other neighbor across the street, who comes over and points out I've been fiddling withe the heating unit not the water heater...point taken :}

He reads the instructions on how to relight the pilot, but can' find where it is, as the water heater is also inconveniently positioned in a way you have be a cirque du solei acrobat to find it. He tells me I'll have to find a technician to fix it and to heat water if I want a bath, :\
I was not going to take no for an answer, I find the switch C2H told me about, get on the floor..and find a small plate, which has instructions to "lift up" and there it was!! I use my lighter and TA DA!! its ON, I got hot water!!!! I m very proud of myself!

The water does not leak anymore in the basemant!! the plumber did fix what was wrong! and the toilets are behaving themselves! yipeeee!!!!!!

Margaritas all around!!
