Some time ago we decided to go for it and get a solar-powered water heater. The financial planning wasn’t much more than a wet finger in the air, but we think it’ll pay for itself in about 5 years, and it should last for 10.
So we ordered it. Or at least we thought we ordered it, but there was some sort of mix-up, and the firm that sells it were waiting for our go-ahead, while we were waiting for them to call and say it had arrived. And once that was sorted, we had to wait for delivery, of course. And when it did finally arrive, both the firm’s cranes had mechanical problems. And then we had a lot on our plate and couldn’t take delivery for a while. We started to feel jinxed. And then the crane driver had to have emergency compassionate leave, which restored our sense of proportion in a hurry.
And yesterday we finally took delivery.
Of course now it’s sat up on the roof until we can get it connected. We are now taking bets as to how long that will take.
