New Water Heater

Beth and I spent all day putting in a new hot water heater in the basement. After draining and flushing out the old one (because the water was a nice rust color) we discovered that all that rust and sediment we flushed out really was clogging up the holes in the 19 year old appliance. Aaaargh!

A harried trip to Home Depot ensued, and 30 minutes later, we had a new one. With lots of help from the neighbors across the street, and Mr. Davies next door; plus four hours of labor, we had installed a brand new gas powered hot water heater. What a pain in the a**. Between having to cut new pipes for new fittings, dragging the old one out of the way, and then triple checking the gas lines so the house didn't blow up, Beth and I finally had a celebratory Red Robin dinner.

Finally, no rust colored baths!!!!
