I don't think it's a good sign when national chain plumbers have to run to Home Despot for additional plumbing supplies & cement blocks after the arrival of our new hot water heater from Auburn(?!) We do have an oddly limited space for the thing & it is short 7-8" from where the exhaust hole is cut into the side of our house. I have nasty visions of what will happen in an earthquake.

The job started at noon and they don't think they'll be done until well past 5. No water + no gas = takeout tonight.

And beer. Lots of beer. In heaven there is no beer. That's why we drink it here.
