Hot water is a good thing

So, my parents came by last Friday and installed a new hot water heater in our home. It is working fantastic! It took a little while for the old rusty water to flush out from the old hot water heater but now, as Anthony says "The water doesn't taste anymore!". It also runs clear (no more nasty chunks of rust).

It was a good thing that we replaced the water heater when we did. When Anthony and my dad were carrying it up the stairs from the basement, a huge chunk of rust popped off the bottom. I'm sure that weakened the structure and it was just a matter of time when the bottom would pop off and we would have had hot water leaking all over the basement. Thanks again to my parents for helping us out with this task! I'm looking forward to the next big task this summer..... redoing the upstairs bathroom!!!
