Here's to you, Super Plumber from 2004! ?
Here's to installing a water heater in a crawl space and then boxing it in with interconnecting drain lines, so it won't escape!
Here's to the time tested and proven concept that NOBODY... EVER... has to replace a water heater, because they last forever and ever!
Here's to cramped spaces, pipe wrenches, angle grinders with diamond impregnated cutting wheels, extension cords, Sawzalls, the joys of fiberglass insulation, hammers, screwdrivers, safety glasses, face masks, gloves, and words that Baby Jesus doesn't like for us to say or to even think!
It was a fun morning!
So thanks, Super Plumber from 2004!
I hope you've prospered and done well in whatever vocation you transitioned to after plumbing. ?
