Home Sweet Home - I hate to burst your ~~bubble~~ Water Heater.

Yeah, that's my window. I was doing some arc welding that day.

Nn, no. This one is about water.

I woke up and made my coffee, thought my son was in the shower.

I sat down to check crypto prices and other drama happening on steemit, Oops forgot to tap a kidney...

So, I go take care of business, wash up and brush my teeth. I find myself still yelling good morning to my 16 year old.

I walk out of the bathroom and I don't see him, but I still hear the shower.

You've heard of a Rude Awakening

This was mine. The water heater is in a closet that opens up while you are in the closet (back to back with the shower if you cam picture that. These are electric water heaters which never made me conformable either.

I put on some shoes before I reached in to turn off the hot water to the tank, then I clicked switch, and I hear the water slowing down to a drip. Problem solved till I can get someone here. buuuuzzzz-pop.

Now the electricity is off.

You are looking at at 5 year old high rise that has many things and places to enjoy. When your apartment seems more like a maze of booby traps, you are not starting your day right.

Knowing a bit about things and things. I figured that water as gotten to the heating element - so I unplugged it, then went to kick on the circuit breaker.

I just wanted my morning coffee!

Oh almost forgot.

My son had left. I had not realized it until I saw a note on the door saying he left early for school. I have never seen a sixteen year old so anxious to go to school, his little brother starts today, and I guess it's the big brother's job to show him the ropes. It's my youngest's first day in High School. The big brother, in this case doesn't start school until tomorrow, but he wants to make sure his little bro gets it right.

We have hot showers upstairs by the gym or downstairs by the pool. A bit inconvenient to drag your soap, and clothes with you up and down the elevator, but it will have to do.

I have a call in to the peeps that do water heaters. That fun should be my morning at 8:00 a.m. tomorrow.

Another Rude Awakening for tomorrow.

Those are my two boys in the pool

Your home is on very high top .

After many days I saw your post, I feel very good.
Excellent building and building is so large.
And the picture was very good.The shower is still working and you were busy in the morning practice. . Wonderful post dear @sponge-bob

The shower still works but only cold water. I had to run off the water inlet to the tank. They said they will replace my hot water tank tomorrow.

a family happy even though the full job but still take the time create beloved family, the conclusion can I take when I listen to your writing you

Uhhhhhh, peor es que se te queme la ducha en pleno baño o que al bañarte el agua te produzca descarga constantemente. O como es en la actualidad, que mi hija cierra la canilla con el palo de secar el piso para que no le dé ese "cosquilleo" buen post, y soy testigo de la excelente vista del edificio. SALUDOS!

Ya esta areglado - se puso un termotanque nuevo. Gracias x las oraciones.

All the water came out. Did it happen or did anyone hurt?

I added information after posting. dTube doesn't allow much editing. Everything is fine. I have never really been a fan of electric water heaters. after I turned it off, it blew a fuse, then I unplugged it and I have lights again. Crazy morning!

Hi @sponge-bob. Thank you for sharing your experience from previous posts,

Apakah itu apartemen milik anda @sponge-bob ??

Yes,

Wow.... Resepnya apaan to bg???

wow... that are your apartement??

It looks impressive but the people that rent to you are snakes.

hhheeehehe
thanks brother

Good job brother @sponge-bob

Ohh, so you were busy in morning habits and the shower is still working on as we can see clearly in the video. The building is so large and photo taken by you is great. :)

I am not sure if the people on the 23rd floor have damage. The water heater is in this little room and the only thing on the 1x2 floor is a drain. So all the water went down the drain (I hope). It was leaking - no, spraying everywhere for hours as I slept. My kids had already left. They are sweethearts for letting me sleep in while there is a water emergency :P

wow!!!!!!!!!!! this is so great. thank for sharing

Wow this is awsome high building love this view 😍
Wonderful video in the taking shower thats nice

why you turning back with too much late.anyway your apartment is so nice.

I earn enough to pay for hit here on Steemit. Thank you that I can live here.

give us advice and tricks.please sir.

very informative your post........that are your building?????......

I rent an apartment here. I cannot buy one without declaring steem coins. Since there is no clear law yet, I won't be the first to declare and pay taxes.

Very nice to be the window of your apartment up to a beautiful swimming pool, plus you can see most of your city through your residence on the upper floors، The most beautiful scenery you can see is the sunset with the red twilight, it really is a very romantic scene، I hope you will be aware of any problem that occurs with you in the water heater using thermostat and ensure the safety of the power switches, thanks u sharing a good post , u r amazing friend , good luck my dear friend @sponge-bob 👍👍😉 , all the best for you my dear 😊😉😃

Excellent shower system.

The view is quite nice but I have made many posts about moving here. If you are a new follower, thanks for showing up to vote and comment.

it's too high man......

Awww its a beautiful view just love it and yes you are right there is no beautiful place like home :)

You missed new years from the roof top - Fireworks as far as the eye can see.

fireworks are really awesome :)

good to see you after many days very apartment thanks for sharing .

A blinding sun producing a great ark welding vision!. Shame you couldn't have welded the leak. That video make me cringe, I just imagined you being electrocuted. Glad all was sorted safely, so you could remain online until it is fixed.

Thank you - I had a new water tank installed yesterday morning. I have been busy with the clean up.

I am pleased to hear that. Glad you got it all sorted

I saw all the water fall in the video.
How did it know why this is something about it.

i worked for a hardware store several years ago before i became an entrepreneur, i earned the "house expert" badge really soon when i worked there, i knew everything, what to buy, use, install.

years later I don't know i kinda feel I forgot everything and i'ts kinda annoying to fix stuff.

btw its truly cool that the older brother helps the younger one, very nice man.

Yes it seems the same for me. I have not used my skills in many areas of life for a long time.

well those are things i dont miss. things i miss doing a lot:

1.-skateboarding
2.- playing a guitar

haha what a bad joke that you are voting for water, at times like this we would like it to be our son who left the stream very nice open the building.

It would make a nice waterfall off the building into the pool.

Dang, what a morning... Hopefully you got some morning coffee after all that.

On my second one now - thanks.

Turning off the running tank was risky - could have been electrifying. Then blowing the main breaker. (glad it was just the breaker or I would have no Steemit to mess with today - oh what to do?

Good job dear

salam hangat, saya pendatang baru di steemit, mohon arahan dan bantuannya @sponge-bob

I don't speak your language but I did have a help post translated - look for it in the list on my blog or on the list for @riostarr

sorry @sponge-bob, they are newcomers who have not understood many things here, maybe he thinks you live in aceh, indonesia. because you have ever used #aceh tags

I am too late to your place, cause I was making an article, but I've read a bit of your article content, you are working on welding in your aperten, i will read it back after this

hehehehhe
im so sorry bother... idont know you not indonesia language

heh, arc welding in an apartment building. :)

Sorry about your water heater. That sucks, big time!

You are the only one that gets my warped sense of humor. I am a welder by trade years ago before crypto entered the scene and outshined it.

Hahaha imagine this happens when you are not at home. And a big leak, chances are the whole apartment will get wet.
A beautiful morning for you hehe

I have ahad many that start with 3 to 4 fun surprises to start. Others where they just keep coming all day long.
I had bee planning an out of town trip to the Canary Islands, but nothing set yet.

@sponge-bob
hopefully later to be an impressive journey, while perpetuating some momentum that can be published.

Just last year I had to do the same thing that has happened to his young son. I just turned 16 years old last year and I had to teach my younger brother how to "survive" in school adolescence. Very good detail of his older son towards the younger. It was what I had to do for him and I felt identified

An older brother is always a great example and a great companion, nice building-

You always have to make arrangements in the house and at the least expected time, I love the pool.

Buen post, recuerdo que en la casa de una tía tenían un sistema con llave para abrir el agua caliente, y la abría con un palo por miedo que no me diera un corrientazo. Gracias por compartirlo.

Vi algo asi pero aca no tenia problema en cerrarla. La electricidad no me da miedo. Por suerte el admin. del dpto vino el martes pasado y pusieron un termo tanque nuevo.

Something high that building and beautiful, excellent article!

indeed if a piece of equipment we need is broken to make it less enjoyable. let alone shower problem, without hot water. if we see it is commonplace to live in an apartment with various obstacles that we face. all of it is delicious and uncomfortable. which is important for you @sponge-bob keeps the spirit, although little things often appear.

Nice post.
thanks for shear it.

Wow. a late visitor.

I was taking a break from steemit because there were a lot of differences of opinion flying around. Glad to see you @ahadsteemit08 - I was just getting ready for a new post. Not sure I will finish it tonight.

This is nice place,
