Hot Water Pressure

I'm thankful today. My house has been suffering for months from a mere trickle of hot water.

We finally had a plumber come over to check out our hot water heater, which we were fully prepared to replace. He opened the pipe leading from the heater to our house and said immediately, "Oh, I see your problem right here." We had a inch of silt that had hardened into rock at the point of exit from the heater. He stabbed it until it went away, then he fixed our guestroom-side toilet in five minutes.

Spending $75 is fantastic when you expected to spend $600 or more. I'm thankful.

Oh, and this morning when I showered, the hot water pressure gently peeled away my skin. Definitely one of the best showers of my life.
