Ode to the Hot Water Heater!!!!!

SERIOUSLY SCREW YOU!!!!!  You couldn't just stop working, no you had to have a wonderful hole some where that we can't get to in order to make repairs!!!!  So I've shut the hot water OFF in order to keep the tank from continuing to fill.  Of course I also don't have a full length floor model either.  Mine sits on a 'box' in the corner of my garage that again isn't easy to get to either.  Seriously?  So the hole has finally grown enough that the heater does nothing but drip.  The wood and dry wall 'box' the heater is sitting on is SOAKED through and molded, I've had to knock out one of the walls of this 'box' in order to get an idea how much water was being retained.  Wood framing is also soaked to the point where it can't hold water any more and I've got water in the laundry area of my garage and the water is slowly spreading.  This crap is worse then The Blob!!!  So I thought I was clever and put a bucket under the dripping water but now we have another dripping area and again water is all over the garage.  Of course the wonderful husband instead of thinking well shit this needs to be fixed as soon as possible is like OK I'll order the water heater and put it in myself.  So he ordered it on the weekend, it shipped on  Monday or Tuesday and won't get here til after the 1st of February.  So I'll be spending two weeks taking birdie baths til the husband can come in the weekend after the delivery to repair the 'box' and install the new water heater.  Talk about a freaking mess.  If I never have to look at the inside of my garage again I'd be too fucking happy, seriously.  Some times home ownership SUCKS BALLS!!!
