Crap! Looks like I need to get a new water heater. |
|
Just came through the garage and noticed water seeping out of the heater compartment. Guess i'll have to call my appliance repair buddy in a couple of hours when he gets up.

1. Same here. It isn't leaking, just doesn't provide much hot water. |
|

5. Throw dirt on the water heater to make it look old |
|
Don't tell the gas company you just replaced it. They'll claim you broke their pipe and they'll try to charge you.
Sometimes, dumb looks can accomplish wonders.
