The hot water went out. I could live with cold water- I half expected it when I moved to Bolivia. But we are paying for gas (all $1/month for unlimited gas, not sure how that works profitably), so after a week of hoping some strapping handyman would just show up, we decided to fix it. And we did it with the Spanish instructions! It's actually quite simple.For all you (future) homeowners out there, did you know the hot water heater hosts an ever-burning flame under the tank? To light it: set the dial, hold down a button to release more gas (on ours, not sure if on all), and position a lit match to where the gas exits... and voila! Learning more life skills here every day.
