I read that. Sad and accurate. I haven't had a serious struggle with depression in a number of years, luckily, but I remember feeling like that. It was awful.Quote:

And, yes, I shopped around. That's the lowest I could find by at least $700.
The good news is that I would qualify for a tax credit in April.
No job change. I've been looking, but no finding.Quote:

Even so, I know at Lowe's (at least Lowe's Canada) it would have been, like, half that.
Yeah, we got hers from Sears, and it was around $500 for the unit and around $800 after installation. I wasn't very involved in the process, which is why I don't know if my dad found a brilliant deal, but I didn't think hot water heaters were that expensive.
It's the unit plus labor.Quote:

Plus, most plumbers aren't experienced with tankless, so you have to find someone qualified.) I can't switch to a tank unit because there literally isn't room for one in my house.
The stupid thing hasn't worked since I moved in, but I've been delaying replacing it because I was concerned about the cost. I've had it serviced twice, which helped but it's never worked consistently. Now some of the parts are breaking down and I'm not putting another band-aid on it. It has to go.
That sucks, Mara. Make yourself feel better by taking a nice hot bath every night for a year after shelling out that money. :)
So I wanted to mention, I was at costco yesterday when I thought I saw a girl who was my first crush ever. I hadn't seen her in like 10 years so it was a bit surprising. She had a husband and two kids which wasn't too surprising but she looked almost exactly the same as she did the last time I saw her. I didn't go up to say hi, so then I went home and went on facebook to look her up and come to find out she is the lead singer in one of those hokey cover bands that play songs like Taking Care of Business and Living on a Prayer for random parties. :lol:
I keep giving myself pep talks like this. My current hot water heater is so inconsistent and difficult that I never even try to get it to work for anything except showers, so I've been washing my clothes and dishes in cold water. Especially without a dishwasher, this probably isn't too hygienic. So, there's that advantage.Quote:

Awhile back I thought about switching to tankless. I wasn't sold on it, and I'm definitely not sold on it now.
What was that fancy one that Walter White got?

Really sorry to hear about your situation, Mara. Hang in there.
What'd you wear/bring? Did you look like Rick Moranis?Quote:
