I was trying to be the good homeowner.  It had been six months it was time to flush the water heater.  The process was going flawlessly until I was starting to re-light the heater.  I noticed a drip, drip, drip.  There is nothing good that can come from that.  I started to investigate.  The shutoff valve to the heater input was dripping.  I guess I was stronger than I though when I shut off the water.  Then I realized I have lived in the house for 10 years and I didn’t know where the main water shutoff was located.  So I had to investigate.  I followed the pipes to quickly find the shutoff.  Once I had the water shut off, I took the broken valve apart and a few inches of telfon tape later, the drip stopped.  The water is heating up and I lived to blog about it.
