I have been renti..........(I mean paying my landlords mortgage), for 10 years. ...
The water heater I have here, is one of the ones you rent off the electric co.
I hope this never lets go Big time, cause all my tools are in the 2 rooms.
If it starts to leak, He will have to have one put in, as I thought I had a problem with this one, and called the number. They said this one (according to the serial #) was listed as abandoned!???
well, I didn't know my landlord too well at the time, Not wanting to get him in trouble, (Not that I "want to" now) told him what they said, He got all smart, and jack up with me, "F&(% them" those SOB's, if they think Im gonna Pay for that water -heater, Bla Bla Bla, all mean and nasty, going on and on.
I said, "Hey, I was just giving you a heads up", "so you don't get into any issues"
Since then,, I have realized what a jerk he is. Well this is a whole other topic, different department.
Should I start a "Slum-lord Thread?
Anyways, Point is, It's going on 11 years, with that water heater.
Like I said, if it does leak, hope is is slowly.
Woman I moved in with to the area, Of course, she had owned this nice little house.
So, being a man, with a "Man Card" I start doing all the maintenance.
Fixed the furnace, fixed the dryer, (It had just lost a power leg, old panel, with two separate 30 amp fuses, one had blown) Garage door opener chain, got too lose, jumped the sprockets, Got all out of timing, Installed wiring and switch, so you didn't have to turn on the switch in the extension cord to Light the laundry area, put an extra outlet in the den. Things like this.
I said, "we need to drain the water heater every year"
What for, "Mom never did it"?
I didn't want to argue with her, I said "whatever" (we were on the out as it was)
So we broke up, about a year later, I called her from work, asking about a tool I couldn't find, if she saw it....., how are things going?
OMG, I just had to re do the basement, The hot water heater blew, and flooded the basement.
How do you like that????? wonder why?
It of course may have blown if we had drained it, but still.
on that Note, I was thinking of changing the androde, (Sp?) in the Electric CO one I have here, But the nut or what ever on top looks pretty questionable, so I thought best not to create problems.
