Had company at the new house this weekend (and the week before). Big Saturday dinner: pecan-crusted catfish, shittake risotto, a million bottles of wine, etc.. Ended up being a long night. <\/p>\n
9:30AM something electronic comes beeping across my sleep: the hot water heater control in our bathroom is beeping and its display is flashing an \"11\". WTF? I find the manual and look up the code : \"No ignition. Check your gas supply.\" Instead I check the thermostat: it's set to 70, but the inside temp is 65. Right. The hot water heater started complaining when one of our guests tried taking a shower and there wasn't any propane to burn to heat their water.<\/p>\n
Turns out, being all new to this country life thing, we neglected to learn anything about our heating gas supply. We never checked the level, and never got an account set up with the gas company. We've been running off the little taste the builder put in the tank in order to get everything running for us, assuming there was some magical propane fairy who would come around and top things off on a schedule, or there was a sensor somewhere would gently prod us when things got low. Nope!<\/p>\n
Took the guy till 5:30 to show up and fill the tank (t'was a busy day for him). And we had to pay an extra $90 to get our tank filled on a Sunday. Crap!<\/p>\n
But, now we know!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
