50 gallons, not bad

I forgot to mention this- but our water heater just broke and flooded the basement floor with 50 gallons of water! So, now we have to take cold showers, which are not very fun. The plumber said we need a new heater- and pipes, probably, since our house was built in 1946. Luckily, the insurance policy was just renewed, and it's all under our hat. Hopefully we won't have any more breakdowns this year.
