Need New Hot Water Tank, Moving Food And Taking Stock

[BucketBack]

Getting Natural Gas next week, so it's time for a new tank, especially since the current one is making crackling noises.Anyway's I have to move a couple doored pantry things to gain access to even vac it out to buy a little more time

I found a dozen containers of Salt, 6 Olive Oils, a 2 1/2 gallon bucket's worth of Northern beans, 10 qt veggie oil, 10 baking soda, 10 corn starch, 20 # rice. 10 can salmon, and 20 SPAM.

This was a nice "Find" to add to our pantry, plus a lot of extra's are going to Benny's House on Tuesday

Our hot water heater went tits up 2 weeks ago. My friend the plumber retired (without asking me) , so we went to Home Depot and looked at water heaters. I never heard of any of the brands they carried and all were between $800 & $1,200, we had an AO Smith heater. I asked about installation, called their subcontractor about a price. They wanted more for installation than the water heater. The quote was $2,000+.

I called my plumber friend and he recommended a local company that's been around forever. He quoted me $1300 max total for another AO Smith unit. They came, installed it and left inside an hour. When they sent us the bill, it came to just over $1,100.00. I was pleasantly surprised. Home Depot can go straight to Hell.

His plan was to move it on a gooseneck deck-over trailer. I just hope he doesn't think he is going to borrow mine...

Him and three drinking buddies . . . one on each corner . . . gonna lift it up and set it on the trailer???

Teach him how to do it with the tractor . . . makes a lot more sense.

May God bless,

I think he was going to use hydraulic bottle jack or a farm jack and some cribbing.

Trying my best NOT to get involved... haha

He just needs to get some Amishs. (I expect some of those extra illegal Mexicans in Chi-town might also work...)

If that is the intended procedure . . . yeah . . . "not involved" . . . is a good place to be.

When one of the corners slips off the bottle jack with it up high enough for him to back the trailer under it . . . he'll wind up with a bent door or two . . . busted window glass . . . and a pile of splintered firewood.

Good time for you to make a trip to the local pond and go pollywoging or salmon fishing . . . the pond that is about 15 miles away . . . and out of cell phone range.

May God bless,

The Mennonites around here do the same things as the folks at County

He is just north of Rockford, so he would have to get toothless meth heads. He can just tell them they are stealing the garage for money, and they will get it moved no problem! Haha
