While winterizing our summer cabin, I couldn’t find
the hose to drain the water heater. I was in a hurry, so I rushed to the store
and bought the cheapest hose I could find. I hooked it up to the heater, which
was in the corner of a bedroom, opened the drain valve and left. An hour later,
I returned home and found the bedroom and kitchen floors flooded. It turns out
that in my haste I had bought a perforated soaker hose. Next time, I’ll
look at more than the price tag.
