Woke up at like 4am and couldn't fall back asleep. Have to be up by 8am today since they are coming to install my water heater, so figured may as well just get up instead of lying there trying to fall asleep only for my alarm to wake me a few hours later.

Water heater being installed nef.

The electrical was not part of quote though, so had to go buy some 10/3 wire. I bought JUST enough. When I got back they told me they had to move it to another location due to clearance requirements, it would put it in a bad spot if they kept it in the general area.

I started running the wire but felt like I was in their way and I had to turn power off in random intervals when getting close to dangerous parts of the panel, so going to finish up once they're done.

Kind of looking forward to seeing how this performs, it's a heat pump water heater, never experienced one of those before, it's kinda a gamble to go with something this new. You know you're in your late 30's when you get excited over a water heater.

Water heater installed, it's doing the initial heating up now. Just called the rental company to cancel the rental and they were trying to get me to bring them the heater or charge me a fee to come pick it up but there's no centres near me so they waved the fee and will come pick it up. Been wanting to do this for so long. No more monthly rental fee now, AND cheaper energy usage. Win win.

I feel they could have done a better job running the condensate line though... the tray was a last minute thing, I asked if they had any just to put under and I can pipe it myself later, so I think I will fix the condensate drain at same time when I do that.

Rambutt first blood pt 2 ends with a virtual Roman orgy of violence and mayhem. Sigh. I miss these simple shoot em ups
