We woke up Tuesday morning to no hot water, so that evening brought the fun of replacing the elements inside the tank that heat the water. We had to drain the entire tank of water so we attached the garden hose to the tank and let the water run outside. Jonathan thought that was great because he's been itching to turn on the outside faucet and play in the water ever since we pulled the hose out this spring. (We've had to keep a wire wrapped around the handle of the faucet or else we find Jonathan outside with the water running full blast!)
Jonathan especially liked trying to squirt us or the dog or the chickens. He loved playing in the water!
The only bad part was that he ended up getting really cold so we had to throw him in the bathtub! But since we had no hot water, we had to heat up pots and pots of water on the stove to put in the bathtub. Boy, I'm glad I didn't live 150 years ago. I really appreciate a working hot water heater!
