Default So i got home to download .185 and...

So I walk into my condo 2nite and I see a waterfall of water pouring from my ceiling. My hot water heater busted while I was @ work. So for about 8 hour, warm water poured from my top florr to my bottom. I have between 15k and 20k of damage. I'm staying at a friends house with no cable or internet access so I though I would post my story here. I will post a few pics of the damage when I get to a desktop pc.

Wow that sucks, sorry to hear that too, I hope all goes well in the repairing process. I hope you at least got to download .185 , I just did about 5 minutes ago, and after sweating it out for about 20 minutes all went well. I like it much better than .167. Good luck

No I didn't get to download .185. I freaked out and called my home owners to start the claim. I've read good thing about.185 compared to .167. But looks like it will be a bit before I will have time to upgrade.

Gah. Sue the &@#&^@# who chose, made, and installed the water heater for suffering (you had to stay with .167 instead of .185!!) and turmoil!

:-D

Wow, that's just...well that's just terrible. I really hope the claim goes well. Let's just look at the bright side though. You'll get new flooring (I personally would avoid carpet, but that's just me,) probably some furniture out of it. And by time you get around to .185, you'll have a lot of feedback on it and you'll know what all little bugs it has
