Congratulations! Fun thread to follow today
Thanks!
Like I said, the last one (which my same friend helped me put in) lasted 17 years.
So twice in 17 years is just about right. Any more than that, and hire a professional!
I like to post threads about real-world type stuff. And I very much encourage people to try to be brave and maybe do things themselves. Paying careful attention, of course, to the advice of experts.
That’s the kind of people FReepers are!
Got a new one toward end of 2011. It’s gas and in the attic. New drip pan that if leaking happened, is attached to a pipe that goes outside the house. That set up was expensive but not nearly as expensive and horrible if the water went in the ceiling and it crashed down into my upstairs bedroom. That whole thing done was close to $1,000.
I also put a water warning device where I would be alerted if water got to it.
