the culprit in question.first of all, if you don't already know this, I AM AWESOME. let me now proceed to explain why i am so awesome.
today, my sis woke up and took a cold shower. i don't think she watched porn or anything the night before so this cold shower was indeed involuntary. since i'm normally up when she gets ready for work, she comes to me and tells me, "there's no hot water!" expecting me of course to do some magic and fix it up pronto. she was right...the water was cold indeed but it was not an issue i could deal with right away. i had brunch plans in cerritos with my cerritos momma and i needed to get out of the house asap.
once i got back, i turned on the water and found that it was still cold when it should be hot. i went to my water heater outside and inspected it. i suspect that the pilot light for the heater went off and since i didn't know how to do anything remotely useful, i started calling a few plumbers i found on yelp. i told the first one that i think i needed the pilot light lit and he told me it would be $75 for the house call. really?! effin' crap. i then called a second one to get a different price point and let me just say, zeb from lipson plumbing was 110% amazing. he actually said if it's really an issue of having my pilot light lit, HE WOULD WALK ME THROUGH IT ON THE PHONE!!! and he did!! it worked, my pilot light was lit, i have hot water, and he saved me $75-$90 today!
i'm just so freakin' excited that i am capable of getting things done. and saving $75 on top of that...that was pure sweetness! zeb is awesome and so am i!
directions (as best i can recall them) for next time the pilot light blows out.
