Source of emergency water

Your hot water heater can be a great source of clean water in an emergency.  There could be 75 gallons of water in there.  
The water can be drained out of the bottom of the tank.  There is a built in spigot. 
Practice to drain your water heater now before you have to do it in a crisis. 


Steps for draining your water heater.

1.  Turn the power off to the hot water heater .

2.  Turn the incoming water supply off.

3.  Attach a hose to the spigot and place the end into a bucket.

4.  Open the pressure relief valve at the top of the tank, or turn on a hot water tap in your home.

5.  Open the spigot and collect the water in your bucket. 
Water will be hot so be careful.


You will want to filter this water just because there might be sediment in it.

Cool Thrift Store Find

I love sewing and I love going to thrift stores. I haven't been going to our local thrift store a lot lately. It was pretty cool that the first time I go in a while I find something neat. A cute battery operated Singer sewing machine and for only $1.00! It was worth it to buy, even if it didn't work. But, I got home put 2 C batteries in it and it actually works. I even sewed a couple of hankies for my Little Man's stuffed up nose.
