Water Heater Repair!

I only have a few photos as this got really dirty fast. 

This water heater was so neglected by all previous owners that it didn't even have a drain pan.

After turning off the power, draining it and installing the pan, I inspected the elements to find that one was fried and wasn't even the right wattage. 

The water heater was filled 80% with sediment. 80%! The only reason water even flowed through the house pipes was because the dipstick that takes the water in had a hole in it only a few inches below the output pipe, allowing it to skim the tiniest stream of water off the top.

Thankfully I had a wet-dry vac to clean the heater out :)

I installed the new elements and BAM! Now I can fill my bathtub twice with water so hot I'd have to add cold water to it. All the way up to my chin! :D

Next time's bath blog will be ten times better :)

Pardon my messy hair, it's chore day. :D
