I was out of town the last couple of days and we got a huge snowstorm. When we got home the hot water wasn’t working.
I checked the unit, looked up the error code, the issue was the pilot not lighting. The cause was 4’ of snow covering the entire exhaust pipe.
I shut down the unit, cleared the snow, built a snow barrier and slope to avoid drifts coming back, then rebooted the unit and it all works!
My sister-in-law is over and she was saying “wow, you’re really handy”, which is seldom true, so I feel very good tonight.
Plus my wife got a fun picture of me chest deep in the snow shovelling. I’m angling to get it a place on the fridge.
Maybe it’s just me, but I’d say having running hot water is pretty rad! I do hope your lovely lady rewards you in multiple ways, in addition to the pic on top center of fridge!
Hot water and not having flammable gas flooding the house!
She’s pretty awesome, just having her around is a good reward.
Yes, definitely! What a loving, lovely thing to say! I hope someone knows who you are and shows your wife this thread, while swearing her to secrecy. May all the blessings of the universe flood your marriage, home and happy corner of the planet (sorry, I couldn’t resist)! I’m so glad we had this exchange.
