18-10 17:06:42 stonysmith Wasn't Dave Mummery one of the regulars here? His wife passed away.
18-10 17:06:08 stonysmith Can't complain.. but I will :)
18-10 17:06:03 rvn2001 Get me some too.
18-10 17:05:55 stonysmith I'm doing fairly well.
18-10 17:05:37 stonysmith I've likely got to hop out and go buy lunch for my daughter
18-10 17:05:23 rvn2001 Hi Stony. How are you today?
18-10 17:05:04 stonysmith Hola
15-10 2:14:12 GNFan I still need to eat, so I'm exiting, too. Later, Stony.
15-10 2:13:31 GNFan Bye, Thom.
15-10 2:11:18 rvn2001 Well guyz, it'z time for me to go check to zee that all of my trainz are ztill running. Z y'all later.
15-10 2:06:56 rvn2001 I just have a shut off valve on mine.
15-10 2:05:58 GNFan Bye John, bye Ellen.
15-10 2:04:23 stonysmith First heater has both, but the stop leak valve had corroded open
15-10 2:03:45 rvn2001 Nite Ellen.
15-10 2:03:23 ejshelton Nite John. Same for me.....long day
15-10 2:03:22 stonysmith That was part of my goal.. Drip pan and stop leak sensor
15-10 2:03:02 rvn2001 Nite, John.
15-10 2:02:55 rvn2001 There should be a pan under the water heater that would catch any leaking water and direst it outside.
15-10 2:02:40 soccrdad30 nite!
15-10 2:02:30 soccrdad30 well, time for me to poof. have a good nite all
15-10 2:02:22 GNFan Contemporary water eaters are rated for 6- or 12- years, after whic flooding is a risk (the voice of experience....)
15-10 2:01:56 stonysmith Single floor house. No basemsnt
15-10 2:01:28 stonysmith There are two things I don't do. Plumbing and large automobile repairs
15-10 2:01:17 rvn2001 I don't replace mine until they leak.
15-10 2:00:49 soccrdad30 I don't blame you Stony, I would be concerned about that too
15-10 2:00:40 rvn2001 In the house or a basement?
15-10 2:00:19 stonysmith I'm just a bit paranoid of possible flooding
15-10 1:59:32 stonysmith It was working well enough but I knew it was old when we moved here 9 years ago
15-10 1:58:30 soccrdad30 more energy effecient?
15-10 1:57:52 rvn2001 Were they leaking or just not putting out hot enough water?
15-10 1:56:43 stonysmith But that means the heater is 40 years old.. Doesn't look that old
15-10 1:55:37 soccrdad30 they were in a rush to get the place done
15-10 1:55:08 rvn2001 That wouldn't surprise me at all.
15-10 1:53:20 stonysmith Or the fool owner before me did some re-trim
15-10 1:53:18 GNFan Put a label on it: "Previous Owner's memorial permanent water heater"
15-10 1:52:45 stonysmith That's what I think
15-10 1:52:17 rvn2001 It wouldn't surprise me that the water heater was brought in before final trim was done.
15-10 1:52:01 soccrdad30 Stony, have you measured out the new ones?
15-10 1:51:26 ejshelton We can do this.....we won't be here when they need to get it out....lol
15-10 1:50:37 GNFan That's "painting yourself into a corner".
15-10 1:50:05 rvn2001 Removing one of the door stops will...
15-10 1:49:54 stonysmith Have to tear out the frame
15-10 1:49:54 soccrdad30 yeah, problem... take the door frames off
15-10 1:49:24 stonysmith *problem
15-10 1:49:22 soccrdad30 ouch
15-10 1:48:45 stonysmith Just removing the door won't solve the orobkem
15-10 1:47:10 stonysmith 20 inch door frame
15-10 1:46:52 stonysmith 20 1/4 wide heater
15-10 1:46:45 ejshelton Probably...lol
