4am fun

When I got home from work at midnight, I let the cat out and I noted that the hot water service was on, boiling away madly.  I did think it weird at the time, give that everyone else was in bed, but I was tired and didn’t give it a second thought.

Fast forward to now, 4am.  I got up for an annoying middle of the night wee and realised that the hot water service is STILL on, so I go outside for further investigation.  Yup, it’s on alright and it’s spewing out hot water and boiling itself silly.  Part of me wanted to go back to bed and pretend it didn’t exist, but the logical me won over.  I pulled the face plate off the system and turned the gas off, then went out the front and turned the water off as it was still running freely out of the system.

Now I’m waiting for someone to answer my “emergency call”.  HAH!
