So on my list today, I get to run around town and buy a few things to flush my tankless water heater.

 

Rivers are everywhere. Smoky mtn ntl park also.

 

And Ole smokey distillery!

 

There is a kit at Plbg supply house or just get the solution, washer hoses, bucket and pump.
Don't forget to clean the screen.

 

I have been looking at changing the whole house over to gas and get a tank less water heater is that required maintenance ? I have done my electric one 3 times in the last 12 years so far so good but the water here is not really bad .

Yes.
If you have soft water it would be better.

 

Most of the YouTube's are saying white vinegar. But I haven't read anything specific to Rheem yet. What's the active ingredient in the solution?

 

I wish I had 1. But I'd have to bring in propane.
Endless hot water.

This is what I use.

 

It's really nice when we have a bunch of people here. Over Christmas we'll have 6 but 2 live across town. Last summer we had 6 in the house for a week or so with dishes and laundry going, so it was really nice. We have natural gas off the street.

 

Tankless FTW ... 15 people in the house 3 Summers ago for "Inlaw Invasion 2014" ... showers, dishes, laundry ... never ending hot water. Gas bill went down immediately after we installed it too.

 

I would have to be LP too no gas from the street , but the whole house is electric which I hate !! Has a Heat Pump which I HATE !!!! and a electric stove which sucks to cook on I like my cast iron damn it !!! Anyhow when I can maybe late next year or early year after I want to swap everything over.

Our housing development was built with solar, gas and "certified" energy efficient everything (which is mostly good). But not having electric appliances is pretty nice. We do have an electric clothes dryer which I want to replace when this one crashes.

 

That is my only question ... I would like a gas dryer but have bad memories from years ago of them going rocket ship no personal exp just reading and seeing on the news. I am sure they are much better now then years ago what I am also not sure of is do they need a stand alone vent as were my laundry is It would screw up my attic if they had to go up from the laundry to the stack or roof.

One of the things built into these homes is a programmable vent in the washroom that also has a manual override to flip it on when you want. But the idea behind the vent is so the house purges itself a couple times a day of stale air/odors. Which is good since these houses have no draft whatsoever (to the point that we usually have one fan going when we're home).

One of the issues I see with the new efficient appliances is initial cost. These things are ridiculous and I don't know if they'll ever pay for themselves through touted energy savings.

 

I use my ci on electric stove. Takes getting used to. Gas is every chefs need.

 

I have 2 stick welders. A Big Ass Marquette and a 70amp "pocket rocket" 110 volt. Torches.
Was going to buy some more stuff for street rod project but burning myself out that won't happen. Might build a 4 engine lawn tractor for pulling if I live long enough and get the itch to build something.
Garage is 24x28 but not insulated. Putting that in and wall board etc would take away to much wall hanging nooks. But like everything else if I start living in there then that may change...

 

Apparently, St George is a place, not a cat breed, they where large white cats that reached 50 lbs but i find no mention of them on the net.

Freezing ass cold here, sunny but the wind chill has it around 46°, too cold for rock climbing

We need to make this happen
