Not that we were in trouble ... but as of yesterday it looks like our hot water tank is just done ... It does have power and everything, but we're only getting water which is just slightly warmer than the cold water taps.
So, we went out and checked out tankless systems today, thinking that would be the way to go. Unfortunately, it looks like they are mostly gas, and we're on electric. If we were able to find someone who sells electric, we'd then have to have the house re-wired from the panel to the hot water tank ... so this isn't something we can afford, and we'll have to go with a new hot water tank.
We've chosen the tank we're going to get (size and warranty-wise), now we just need to wait to have the money to actually get it. Guess we'll be having pretty sketchy washes for the next little while, and I'm not sure how we'll I'm going to be able to do dishes with no hot water. However, we usually do our laundry on a cold/cold cycle, unless we're doing sheets or towels, or something which needs to be sanitized, so at least we can put clean clothes on our "not as clean as usual" selves.
And of course, I go into work two days this week, so I'm going to have to wash my hair in cold water .... NOT looking forward to that!
