Hot Water Feud...
Well, I would like to take this time to apologize to Zoey for mentally blaming her for ruining my wood floors.
Last Tuesday, I noticed that Zoey had peed on the dining room rug. Well then I noticed that my wood floors looked a little different. Everywhere that I stepped, liquid would come up from the seams in the floor....and there was a LOT of liquid. I just thought that Zoey had set the world record for amount peed in a single squat.....that kept multiplying...every hour....So I dry vacked the floor for about, oh 2 HOURS and got NO WHERE. Then I decided that laying down towels and jumping up and down on the floor to squish the liquid out was my best bet. And for all of yall thinking that was a dumb move...no it wasn't....it worked the best! SO THERE! BOOYAH! IN YO FACE! ok ok ok....moving on...
I had to go to Longview that night. So I turned some fans on the floor crossed my fingers, loaded up my mini zoo, and headed to Longview completely panicked that I was gonna come back and the floor would be a goner.
So I get back home Friday night.... to discover that the floor was warped and bubbled up and basically ruined. Did I mention that there was MORE liquid under the floor and you could hear it when you walked? Yeah, well I left that part out because it gives me anxiety just thinking about it now. Anyways....of course Ronnie noticed when he first walked in the door...like a blood hound to a raccoon in the kitchen....I mean, he doesn't notice when I get my hair done and I walk through that door...but he sure did notice that stinking floor! Ok ok ok...Ronnie said that we just had to wait for the water to dry and evaporate out of the floor which would take a while. Great, I just LOVE those kind of answers....it is kind of like when you ask someone where they want to eat and they say that they don't care, so then you suggest a place and they say no to that place...well then hot stuff, why did you say that you don't care if you really are gonna have an opinion?!?!?! HUH!? HUH!?!?! Ok ok ok...sorry.
So Sunday morning I am in the kitchen feeding the dogs and I hear a loud pop. I go tell Ronnie so that he can check out the loud pop that already happened that he didn't hear. Yeah, made perfect sense to me too! LOL. So then Ronnie gets in the shower and asks if I paid the bill cuz we had no hot water...(the nerve, yeah he asked me out loud too...I know...totally rude...lol) Then the light bulb came on and it all made perfect sense. Water under the floor, loud pop, no hot water....the hot water heater had exploded. It wasn't Zoey's fault! YESSSSSSSSSSS...do you know how glad that I am that it was the hot water heater and NOT Zoey's fault? And just for the record....Zoey didn't get a spanking, or a talking to, or told that she was bad....
ANYWAYS...$600 and an afternoon later, we have hot water again, a old rusty exploded hot water heater in the backyard to start our "redneck wasteland" art collection, the same warped floors that we have to have patience and wait for the water to evaporate out of (I am totally not good at this waiting crap....not my style), and a very large cardboard box that Ronnie completely destroyed with his manly pocket knife while taking the new hot water heater out. Are you jealous? I know you are. My life is ANYTHING but ordinary and boring....so anytime that you want to switch for an afternoon...just let me know...I am sure that can be arranged.
