Compact Hot Water Heaters- They Work Well When They Work - 11/20/09 09:26 AM
I wanted to clean the cabinet under the kitchen sink. I just wasn't planning on doing it today.
My Friend Murphy decided to pay me a visit this morning- I was about to make coffee when I saw the puddle of water on the kitchen floor. I was hoping it was from a melted ice cube but no such luck. I opened the cabinet under the sink to find the TINY TITAN compact hot water heater hissing and the floor of the cabinet soaking wet. This little heater only holds 2 1/2 gallons of water but this morning it's seemed … (16 comments)

Rain, Rain Go Away...... Think Twice Before Crossing Flooded Roadways In Virginia - 11/17/09 07:02 AM
Flood water from Hurricane Ida in Virginia this past week- I spent the weekend in Surry, VA where many of the roads in this section of Virginia cut through marsh land. The photo above is from a beautiful swamp in the Surry, Isle of Wight area which is normally very tranquil. The ground was saturated after days of non-stop rain, causing a washout of sections of roads including Route 10 in Virginia. The ferry from Surry to Williamsburg was closed for several days.
