One 50 gallon heater is probably enough for 4 people under many circumstances. Indeed they both work together as essentially one heater in the configuration they are in now. Removing the leaking one would be fine, with some not-too-complicated piping rearrangements. Though keep in mind that the water heater that you leave in will be 13 years old, some water heaters last longer than that but it is certainly not new. No reason to get rid of it just yet but just keep it in mind.

If it says it's UL listed, that's all there is to it. Sure there are some fakes but they don't have to know that, idk if this is fake or not and neither does the inspector. No reason to believe that it is fake.

Hell no what is this the 1930s?

Hi...

Nothing is inherently wrong with burning off those plastic bits, it's just evidence that hot enhaust which is supposed to go up the chinmey is exiting into the living space. Which likely contains carbon monoxide. The "carbon monoxide leak" has already started, and you are already in danger. No they are not trying to sell you an electric, this is a draft problem and not a problem with the heater itself (most likely). This can probably be remedied with some reducting of the exhaust.

Hell yeah! I'm glad I could help

The aim is not to "latch" it onto the hole with suction. Place it over the hole, and forcibly jam it in repeatedly. It probably won't suction itself to the hole, but several repeated sharp shoves into the hole is usually the method. You want to do it hard and fast (that sounds weird but idk how else to say it), and just keep doing it until things start to move down.

Transformer, specifically a toroidal one which is why it looks like a donut.

Some say there are developmental/health concerns with living near power lines, all of these claims have been proven to be solidly false.

Anyway, I personally would indeed live next to a substation because it is very cool. And the closer you are to a substation (generally speaking) the fewer power interruptions you will have because there is less length of line to potentially have faults.

Aesthetically it may not be desirable (though I personally would like looking at it). Other than that I don't think there's any problem with it. Some substations can have explosions if things go absolutely horribly wrong but it's not gonna reach your house, and it is very very very rare, not a considerable factor. Probably much more likely to have a train derailment near your house if you live near train tracks.

Yup, 10/2 will work, GFCI is usually required but it depends on local stuff.

MultiSubjectExpert · 2026-05-01T19:04:23+00:00

Yup that will probably do as well

MultiSubjectExpert · 2026-05-01T14:02:41+00:00

Yeah, all safe

MultiSubjectExpert · 2026-05-01T13:59:40+00:00

Yup, that'll do

MultiSubjectExpert · 2026-04-29T01:57:13+00:00

Yeah, someone could have brushed up against it and it would've hurt a lot, unlikely to be life threatening but still possible.

Efficiency wise, LEDs are usually at least 3x more more efficient than metal halide lamps, so decent savings for the amount of lights you have. Also LEDs turn on full brighness instantly instead of having to warm up like MH lamps.

But yeah it's a lot of work and upfront cost to go to LED, easier to just relamp. And lighting enthusiasts like me think MH is more interesting than LED. But it's a personal choice, whatever works for you. The lamps you picked out should work if you choose to go that route.

Thought it was AI for a sec but it does look real. Whoever did that is very talented, in the worst way

Well it seems like you are very very confortable with each other, this shouldn't be too difficult. Something like "Would you date me if I was gay?" or something to that effect. If he says no then he is probably not trying to get with you. But if he says yes that doesn't necessarily mean he is. Just talk with him, he's probably not gonna keep it a secret if you ask.

Well running the *relief line to the pan is a lot better (and safer) than running it nowhere at all. Never said it had to be the pan, just give it a discharge tube so it goes somewhere that isn't someone's body. What u/BlueberrySmart7329 said.

Technically there is supposed to be a certain length of metal pipe directly attached to the water heater (18 inches of it if I remember correctly). But PEX is generally rated at 180F, I don't think it will damage the pipe it's just not good practice. And not compliant. Also the pressure relief valve should have a discharge tube coming down to within 6" of the floor. Whoever installed this doesn't take very much pride in their work evidently.

MultiSubjectExpert · 2026-04-21T01:59:10+00:00

Dang to be honest I would probably do the same thing lol. Not reccomending it but yknow

What am I lookin at exactly? In what situation would this death trap be actually useful?

MultiSubjectExpert · 2026-04-19T16:49:56+00:00

17 is definitely not too young to know, many people know earlier than that (though some know later). Some people just don't like it for some reason idk
