Water heater down.

[Desertnate]

There are a couple of "builder's bargains" stores in the area with odd lots and stuff, maybe they picked it up there, IDK

I really wonder about those "builder-grade" parts they use. We built our house and moved in new. Every time we do a project in the house I run across those cheap parts and shake my head at how bad they really are.

I think there is a pool of barely-possible appliances out there at some of those "builder stores". When we moved into our house we went through at least THREE water heaters before we landed on the one we have now. Each previous one kept having the gas burners fail after only a day or two. Fortunately they were well inside the builder's warranty on the house so they had to deal with it.

I hear you on the builder grade stuff

We had free rein in specing our house and went with high end stuff throughout

Not fancy, just high quality

Cheaper in the long run

My dad always said “we are too poor to do it twice, do it right the first time”

I’ve always lived by that motto

This morning at work she mentioned that she had to replace her water heater over the weekend

She immediately found out she needed a city permit to install or replace ANY gas appliance

What a joke. Justanother way to make a few dollars and stick their nose in everybodys shitt.

We replaced our side deck a few years ago, and made it a bit bigger, its still small, nothing elabrit. But some smackoff that was getting nailed for doing shadyshit without permits, was driving around the township looking for folks that were doing work to turn them in. That prick turned us in and we had to pay for a permit and all that shitt And have it inspected. I was pissed just because people cant stay iutta other peoples business

I did ask him about the big box store brands. He mentioned they stay away from them. He can't count how many they replaced. You cannot get parts for them! Also asked him about the insulating wraps for them. Not needed. The new ones have plenty of insulation. If you look at your new one, it looks bigger because of all the built in insulation.
