Re: What have you done recently that you've never done before?

[(Anonymous)]

My water heater runs on gas, although it may still require electricity to work (I know the stove and dryer do, and even if the furnace didn't, it still wouldn't work without the thermostat functioning). I've never experienced a long enough power outage in my adult life to put the hot water heater to that kind if test (I'm not in an area prone to large-scale disasters).

ayrt

Yeah, mine does too, but there's some kind of sensor or something (the guys who installed it explained it to me but I can't remember the details) that needs electricity to work.

It's happened once in my life. Electricity in our area doesn't go out frequently, either, but we'd just had a new driveway poured, and the guy who did it screwed something up and messed up our power line. It happened to be the same weekend my brother and I were both moving out of our parents' house, and my brother had worn pretty much every item of clothing he had, then waited until basically the last minute to wash all of his clothes so he could pack them. So there was all the laundry (he'd done several loads before my mom found out because she wanted to conserve hot water and he was too lazy to find a laundromat), and showers for everyone (my brother, parents and me, plus my uncle was staying with us that weekend) so the hot water ran out fairly quick. It was not fun.
