Water Heater Update, with pictures!!

So I put a status message on Facebook about not having hot water, and I wish my water heater was working, and how I had to wash my hair with cold water.  My sister (Trey's mother-in-law)  has Facebook. :)    


Trey and Patty are on their way to my house as I type to fix my water heater!  Hopefully I'll soon have hot water!!  And when I do I'm taking a shower and staying put until I use it all up... and it better refill!!


I will fill you all in later!!!


I should have done that weeks ago!


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Later that evening...


One of the heating elements was totally fried!!  It could have happened if the tank wasn't full, the element was dry and it fried.  New element was $10.  We replaced both top and bottom elements, just to be safe.   No leakage this time and I had hot water in less than an hour.  Last time it was 2 days.


This is what a heating element should look like


 This is the element Trey removed from my one-month old water heater.  

A close up of the element.  Think maybe it was defective?


So so so happy now!  It's late but tomorrow I am going to enjoy a nice hot leisurely shower... maybe even two.
