Follow up on the water heater

Just a quick follow up note for today as it's late, we had friends over for dinner and I'm exhausted and would like to go to bed.

PB has been tinkering with the water heater and it seems that the issue is electrical (so the plumbing hat was not needed!). It would seem that one set of wires that connects our remote for the upstairs bathrooms is not reading properly and is causing the shut down. Problem is rewiring now. We had used some existing wires that were poking out of the wall before, but it's buried behind drywall and other structural elements so it's not feasible to run a new wire in the same location. I'm trying to convince PB that we need to move the remote to a new location that has a shaft that runs directly down into the basement. The problem with that, is the holes that we will need to poke through the drywall in order to run the wires down and possibly even drill a larger hole to send the wire through as there is some particle board flooring that is still in the way. His issue, the repairs of the drywall. He's not a drywaller - however, it happens to be one of the skills I have learned and has been very handy to have, being a pilot's wife and all. He doesn't want to create any unnecessary work for me considering how much work I have to do now, on top of taking care of Corwin.

Tomorrow he may tackle the electrical (which thankfully I don't have to tinker with because I'm not crazy about an electricians "hat") and that may mean the knocking of some holes in our drywall. I may be cursing later about the patching, sanding, patching and sanding again and then painting to repair the damage but if I have hot water consistently afterwards, it'll be all worth it.
