Sunday was a pretty cold day. It felt like there was no heat but the thermostat kept reading 70. Obviously it was just me. Then Monday came and it felt even colder. I looked at the thermostat and it read 69. Ok.... Then I looked at another thermometer I had and it read 65. Obviously there was a problem.

I tried to get the heat to turn on - no luck. Then I went out to the maintenance closet to see if there was something weird (not like I would know how to fix anything) and there was. The water heater, which is a few feet from the furnace, was spewing out water and had leaked all over the floor.

Eventually about 50% of the furnace had to be replaced, including the thermostat inside, and the entire water heater had to be replaced. So the only image I thought to take really was the new water heater in the bed of the maintenance guys truck.

Yay for this being an apartment instead of a house!
