Well, it is too late! With the leak, I didn't have the luxury of time to mull a decision over, so I hired the guy who said he would replace the tank only, which was the only damaged part. He installed an Aero from Bradford White which looks exactly like this Bock only flipped. And with the drain...

Right now, I have an oil-fired water heater with a tank. It has sprung a leak in the tank, so this question is of some urgency as I have to replace it ASAP. Due to where I live in Ontario, CA, I don't have gas, I also have hard water. I've installed a softener and while that's helped a lot...

Well, the contractor let me down. After having more than 5 weeks (!) to break out the one big rock, he left it to the last minute and then didn't show up yesterday like he said he was going to. And now, I've had to cancel everything else and due to winter coming on, I won't get my new basement...

Well, I wasn't going to put up the one wall until the fixtures were in! :D And, the way I have it laid out, the plumbing will all be exposed in the laundry room, where only the furnace will ever see it, so I hope it's not too bad to install. I wish there was more room, but there's not. Trust...

Right now, my basement floor is almost completely ripped up. Suffice it to say that the people who poured it originally were either on drugs or, as I often say, enthusiastic amateurs. Yes, it was that bad. Anyway, all this floor being ripped up and re-poured has given me the opportunity to...
