[Shop-talk] water heating installation

[Mike Rambour]

   Offhand, I would say too high.  BUT how much work is involved ?   
When going from gas to gas, its a simple half hour project.  I don't 
know what the work would be going from Electric to Gas, never done 
that.  I would assume the plumbing is simple, the only part I can't know 
about is installing the venting.  Is that a complicated install ? going 
through upstairs floor ? or just a simple hole in the ceiling and roof 
with a pipe ?

  In So. Cal. one of the best things I did was move the water heater 
from inside the house to outside and built a shed around it, super easy 
to change now.  But in WI it might get too cold in winter for that to be 
reasonable, a lot of heat would be lost.
  Not enough information to know for sure.

A gun is like a parachute, if you need one but don't have it,
you'll probably never need one again.
