Default Getting rid of the water heater.

I found one whose truck I had seen around here 3 or 4 times in the

Something like the one you mention, Chris, they have a minimum 1/8
truckload, of 10x8x5=400/8 = 50 cu. feet, but the water heater is
5'feet high by 2 feet in diameter, at most 20 cu.feet.

They charge 167 for an 1/8th of a truck, and 119 for anything less
than that.


I forgot to say that for this money, they send two guys and will go
down to the basement to get it.

And if I had more stuff, it might well be worth 119. Of course I have
a small house and lot, and can't wait until all that stuff piles up,
esp. since the county takes most of it away for free.

That's a lot compared to 10 dollars.
