End of summer with no real trips so we are gonna go up to NC to Deep

two weeks from completion so will be using the tent (this is tent #4

My wife is taking me to California and I hear the water in Tahoe is
pretty cold. I don't plan on jumping in anyway.

I experienced some cold water this evening.

the water heater in the garage quit last week so until I get a new
heating element, after work showers are a bit nippy.

I bought one of those tankless water heaters and still have it in the
box. It's tiny and mounts on the wall so I will gain some space in the
garage. My conventional unit is 12 years old and could die any day. The
problem is the wiring. I have to get a nice, non-union, electrician to
run some fat wires about 15 feet to run it. I don't mess with anything
above 120V.

I've talked to Tim about my system. I've got natural gas. Here is mine:

It's expensive, but it really cut my natural gas costs, summer and
winter. This thing gives me hot water in the whole house, and never ever
runs out, even if there's two showers going, the dishwasher, clothes
washer, etc. Of course, Tim wouldn't need this much of a heater for his
application.
