Navien I hate you

Yes yes, I know it is Pupdate day but I really don't feel like it. I will post the little monsters tomorrow, how about that? Today I would like to do a little bit of whining and stomping of my feet!

The kids and I had planned to go to Edmonton today as F has a Pro-D day. Well my hotwater heater had plans of its own. This is my Navien tankless hot water heater. Top of the line junk. Between the product itself and having it installed two years ago it cost us about $3250. For that price it should heat water, don't you think?

This morning I started my shower and waited and waited and waited for the hot water to come. Hmmm something not right here. Went downstairs to check it out- red flashing light and no temperature reading. So I took the cover off and then unplugged it, shut off the water, cleaned the sand filter. Nothing! NO. HOT. WATER! And how convenient that my husband who was supposed to be home tomorrow, is staying in China for an extra two weeks.

I called the plumber, he was probably screening his calls because he didn't answer and he hasn't returned my call. So instead of going to Edmonton, we shopped in town. But I can't leave the house without my shower, no sir. I boiled the kettle and bathed out of a soup pot. Yup, it was great. Just like camping in my own house. I so look forward to bathing the kids the same way tonight. *Insert foot stomping here*
