Batteries Required

Yesterday, our hot water did not seem to be working properly. Yes, we still have guests, but no one seemed to mind much, likely because it is about 36 degrees outside these days...  (last time we had this problem, it was about 18 degrees every day and we'd just moved into our new place.... not fun!)

However, the situation did need to be rectified.
My husband went to take a look at things with our gas powered water heater this morning, and came back into our room victorious, announcing he'd fixed the problem. Shocked, I asked how...
All it took, apparently were a couple of D batteries.

See, the "sparker" (don't mind my lingo...) was dead on the heater, which runs on batteries what was I thinking? GAS. It runs on GAS. Sorry...   By the way, we don't have an actual hot water tank, rather a heater, and it can be finicky.

Only in Brazil...

There is one shower in our house that still would have had hot water without the extra batteries, though... in the maid's quarters, the water is heated in the shower head, by electrical wires... nice.
