If you can't find a thermostat right away, just disconnect the element that is staying on all the time. This will at least give you normal temperature hot water, but just not as fast a recycle time a

Check the motor wiring. It may be hard to understand, so if you look at the voltage specification and it shows 220/120 or 220/408, the 220 in the first one is "high" and "low" in the second one. Now

If the rafters are not up, put them side by side and make the cuts all at once. They will line up better that way. If you just cut the end cuts with a saw you can then use a chisel to knock out large
