Been on my list of things that are urgent for like 4 years. Finally had the money to do it today.

Thank you, thank you

    Bullshit - it can’t be done.

    1st rip get the water heater and all the recommended parts.

    2nd trip take the parts that don’t fit back and get the “right” ones.

    3rd trip take the “right” ones back and get the part you really need.

    The 4th trip so the worst. You stop go to a local hardware store because you need a special part and pay out the bose for it.

        The other day I helped a friend furnish his new house that was next to a german equivalent for a home depot. Like, his garden fence has a gate into their parking lot. You bet I walked over there for single shims with a cup of coffee in hand and after three days the cashiers collectively grinned when I strolled in.

      That’s exactly what I was expecting! I wrote down everything I needed. Took some pictures. Went to a buddies house and had him look at my list and pics. Then went to the store, bought the water heater and pieces, and got it all in one shot.

      It’s the closest I’ve ever come to greatness.
