I got a nifty bonus from work this month and was hoping to put it towards something cool like a stainless steel dishwasher, but that all changed when we decided to see how old the water heater is. It's 20 years old!!! I'm amazed that the bottom of the thing hasn't rusted out completely and burst! We've noticed that when you turn the hot water all the way up, after a few minutes the water turns a nasty orange-brown and chunks of rust come out of the faucet. Not good.
So, Anthony and I have been thinking about remodeling the upstairs bathroom this summer when he has a break from school. We can't do it until we get this water heater replaced. There would be no point if we worked on the plumbing in the bathroom, only to have the mixer get plugged with nasty rust. I'm learning so much about water heaters that my dad would be proud. My mom and dad are even planning on coming down to help us remove the old one and install the new one (too nice!!!). Maybe we'll buy them lunch ;o)
