working on my flooring..who said he bought a new water heater and it
didnt even last 6 months. It blew open and flooded his house.

LOL! Reminded me of a guy who tapped into city water lines and ran it
into his new house. The dummy didn't known it needed a pressure
regulator and he exploded 2 water heaters! They even had pressure
relief valves but the water pressure was just too great and the relief
valves couldn't relieve the water fast enough.
