A few years ago I helped a guy pull a water-heater out of a house because we couldn't drain it. When we got it outside we discovered it was full of calcium sludge....yeah....

Heat water and lime precipitates in my neck of the woods.

My friend had a similar problem. He basically had 30 gallons of rock. His was worse though -- the water heater was in the attic, so lowering it down out of there was a major deal. His plumber was not a happy dude.

Which reminds me of some college friends way back when who had a big trash can for recycling their beer bottles. Since it was filling up too fast, they decided to smash the bottles in small pieces so they wouldn't have to empty it so often. Any idea what 40 gallons of crushed glass weighs? Unfortunately, they couldn't get a forklift into their kitchen, so they had to scoop out the glass. Fortunately there were no fatal injuries.
