As is often the case in DIY..... Each dollar saved in DIY is another 5 dollars for the Professional to fix when you are finished "di*king" around.... Not in all cases , of course...

OK, it's sad when someone is showing you pictures of his new water heater, I admit. But I thought I would follow up. Last week we completed removing the old pressure tank and we have a very nice whole house water filter in its place. Yesterday Col helped me wrangle the old water heater out and we wrestled the new 80 gallon job into place along with a cold water shutoff, expansion tank and power disconnect to bring it up to 21st century code. Still a few minor things to finish like electrical bonding, an earthquake strap and some drain work, but it works. This has been done when I am not working here six days a week catching up on orders. All galvanized pipe, a LOT of wrenching. I be tired, very tired. Time for a hot bath...

Yeah, I think showing a girl your plumbing in a bar is probably illegal in most places anyway. Wasn't that an episode of Cops?

Hahaha, oh man, now you know what I look like!....Next time I am on COPS, I will try to wear a BOTTLEHEAD shirt to help spread the good word.. :) ..... and it is equally sad when we are complimenting you back on your water heater , HOWEVER, give credit where it is due, yes, that is a very nice water heater and a GREAT upgrade for your vintage house project, congrats :)
