Water Heater Blues

Working from home for second straight day because we have no hot water here. Workers yesterday and today have determined the old one is finished and needs to be replaced. Hope fully that will be accomplished today.

I took the opportunity to clear out some junk from the laundry room. This place really is too cluttered for my taste.

I like engaging with the workers, who invariably are minorities, probably little educated, and fun to talk with. I admire the work they are able to do; at my age, I am too frail to do anything like that.

My landlady has been here a lot; she bargains hard with the workers. It looks like this particular job will cost her $1,400. Days like this -- I am happy to be a renter, not an owner.
