All that for an estimated $11k.
My wife thinks it's a deal as she has a friend who said it's going to cost them $10k just to run a new line from their kitchen to the street.
I'll just be glad when it's all done.
Oh, and we'll lose that bush which I'm not that upset about, but I have put a lot of work into growing it nice so it'd hide all the plumbing stuff. Oh well.
This is a shot of the 'bandaid' they put in so we'd have water in the house until all this other stuff is ready to go. |
Wow! And I thought only our projects went from zero to 60 in the blink of an eye….[emoji6]
Regarding your water heater, have you looked at a tankless? I know that tankless don’t work for everyone’s application, but for us, it was one of the best decisions we have ever made. Yes, we are in city water and it is not hard water either so build up isn’t an issue. We are going into our third season on the same propane fill with the new system, where our old water heater would eat up the tank in one.
