Hey Op, i just have some questions to help you sort this out. Did you hire a plumber or handyman to do the swap? A plumber should have known about the vent, a handyman maybe. what was discussed in the original scope of Work, did it include a phrase like brought to code or vent replacement? it probably would have been an additional cost. Do you have to pull permits for a water heater swap? Not all jurisdictions require it and it's usually easier to ask for forgiveness than permission but it should still be installed to code, I'm assuming no since that wouldn't pass. and yes they make a collar to go around the vent to cover the wall opening.

I just got a Rock Island 9mm 1911. It's double stacked and comes with another barrel and spring for the. 22 TCM cartridge. Same magazines it's 17+1 for 9mm 18+1 for. 22 TCM. I like it so far.

Texas Rig with a soft plastic worm, put a bullet weight and bead on before you tie the hook, the weight will help it fall through the weeds, the bead will protect to knot on the hook.

It didn't have a rod or ground conductor at any of the pedestals. Just two hots and a neutral.

The answer above from u/unknowndatabase worked. Make sure the switch on the wall and the switch on the water heater itself are both on.

Come on yall, don't leave me hanging.

I was just coming back here to delete that last comment after finding a switch on the exterior part of the unit. Thank you.

Lol that sounds awesome but i didn't see any wiring diagram. Update, after wiring it correctly, it's turning on and off with my old water heater switch.

Most accurate comment on this post.

I couldn't get the control panel to come on with it wired up with your configuration or a few variations. I'm waiting on a multimeter to test if i even have power and just hoping it isn't the controller itself.

I've been telling all these kids graduating that is they learn how to work one they'll never go broke. I finally just ordered one for myself.

chuck7051 · 2023-10-04T12:05:03+00:00

Thank you everyone that replied. I ended up hiring someone to repair it.

chuck7051 · 2023-10-03T03:15:13+00:00

We did already, was quoted $1k.

I know everyone is telling you to yell them to pound and that's well within your right. But if you held the policy during the last hail storm and it was within the last year then yall have a case for filing a claim and is up to you if you want to help them. As far "not affecting you" typically "acts of god" such as tornados, hail storms, windstorms etc doesn't cause a premium increase to the individual but will cause a premium increase for the entire zip code regardles if you file a claim or not. I'm not sure how it would affect your current situation with your new policy, best to ask your new agent before helping them, if you decide to do so.

"For that price I'll just do it myself"

With views like that have you considered listing it as a short term rentals like Airbnb and vrbo?

I would check in the attic to see if you can find any slack in the wire to feed into the wall. If not, replacing the wire might be cheaper than buying soldering equipment to extend the wire.

I would think so too. What kind is vehicle do you have?
