Perils and fortunes of home ownership

Last night, we get a call from the local energy agency thanking us for their service. I decide to call them back - since they seemed to be working on a Sat, to tell them that our rented water heater was rusty. They said they'd send someone over Sunday morning.

Sunday morning, while the fixer guy was here, the hot water heater, now 14 years old, finally failed and began to leak. Needless to say, such a thing is a potential disaster - but fortunately, because he was here, we caught it quickly and got it cleaned up before our basement was flooded.

But, what are the chances?
