This story is a week old now but I thought you guys would understand hah hah..
I found about 100 gallons of water in my first floor last Monday morning. I feel lucky to have found it so quickly because it was gushing out of the flu of the water heater!
I worked for a plumber in college. This should have taken about two and a half hours, INCLUDING going to buy it. I had a seven hour day ahead!
Well look at where this thing is stuck... This is the new one going in, because I was too busy working in the old one going out. What you can't see in the picture is it's jammed between the water main in the bottom left, the gas pipe (shared with the furnace) front left, and the chimney on the right.
I needed a car jack to lift it out of place and drop the new one in!!
I drop it in, and it looks like the water and gas lines are lin d up like I hoped and now I see the pressure relief valve is in a different spot, so I have to carve up the chimney flu!
First world problems, but next time this thing goes, I'm going tankless! Hah hah!
