Here is a brand new water heater [what fun!]. It's been leaking for several days, but I thought it was the washing machine and turned off the water to the machine for a couple days to check. Water kept building up on the floor [sigh] so finally called a company that came out within an hour to do the work.
The wooden floor is a piece of plywood that the workers put down because the folks who put down the floor didn't bother to put Pergo UNDER the water heater, and the new one had to go back about 2 feet so it could be strapped to the wall.
Here is all the new piping that they installed because the old piping wouldn't allow the water heater to stand against the wall. They did a great job - but it must have been gold plated somewhere for the price I was charged. I will say the guys that did the job were top notch, very professional, and very polite and neat.
I really hoped I could move in July without spending more money on the house.

Water heaters are one of those things that you hate to spend money on, but just try living without one! Cold showers are not good for old ladies. Oops, I forgot--you're the young one!
Did I ever tell you about the time Ole and I installed a water heater in our guest house? It was a lot of work, several trips to Home Depot and ten times as long as you would ever dream. We would have paid a plumber a lot to take over and fix it all. We ended up with a working water heater and a sense of accomplishment but I don't think we will do it again!!!
We (my family) put in a tankless water heater when we did the addition to the summer home at the lake. I kept kind of hoping that our water heater in LA would kick the bucket and we could go tankless there. No such luck!
Lexington tonight, home tomorrow. I miss you guys! :) a
