Jaykline Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 Found this at an inspection last week.

Brian G Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 Jay, my man, downsize those big honkin' files before posting please. We of the wimpy dial-up can bake a cake waiting for those to load. [:-indifferent] Lord Jim, great link! I printed that puppy to copy for those special situations like Jay has found. I think sometimes people are a bit skeptical that such things really happen and are truly that powerful. [] Brian G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Fabry Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 Jay, at least that water heater had a TPRV. The last house I did had a new water heater w/ a new pipe plug in the side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
