Me say Hi

It’s a Wonderful Life is a must watch for me on the 24th every year. Miz Chiz thinks it’s corny, but her loss. Amazing how seamlessly Elf entered into the fabric of holiday faves.
Oh natch, Mary! You can't watch Wonderful Life on another day. Gotta be The Eve.

And Miz Chiz is totally right. It's major 1940's Hollywood smarm. Upon release of the film in 1946, it was dubbed "Capra Corn".

Another good XMas flick ... a French film ... Joyeaux Noel. I'm in on any movie with Daniel Bruhl and Diane Kruger
 
This looks to be a sealed unit. Glass doesn't come off and I can't see anywhere to get in from the back. It was really cheap, like $300 from Ikea.
I'd assume it's the coils and I'd keep running it until you smell the magic smoke ;D but I'm a bit on the wild side as I'm in the process of installing my new tankless water heater. Which means I'm now waiting for the vertical termination vent kit LOL.
 
Damn that sucks Annie. How many days will that be?
With me doing the install?? ROFLMAO! the vent termination stack arrives Tuesday. Although it's low Nox emissions so I'm not averse to firing it up in my garage for a test before. My current exhaust will work for exhaust but not intake air. But it's essentially outdoors so Monday I'm guessing. I need to pick up some MAPP gas as I'm not planning to sweat copper in this cold, moist air without a hotter gas. I also need some pex fittings but my insulation looks good. So I'm pleased with that. My black pipe sediment trap is already built :) So honestly I need to mark my walls and do my, soldering, put on the drywall and attach my connectors, mount the water heater and I'm close to done.

Just finished washing my morning dishes and the stove heating my water took the dismal chill off my kitchen perfectly. So I'm not unhappy with zero hot water out of the faucet but give me 2 weeks and I will be LOL
 
Drools….want to go tankless next. I’m gonna have two teenage boys in a few years - Lawrd help me. Mornin’ y’all dolls!
Hmmm ... some food for thought, Sir Chiz?

Are Tankless Water Heaters Worth it?​

Tankless Water Heaters can be worth it, depending on the home and owners. If you are looking for a water heater that is smaller, this type is good for you. But if you live with multiple people and in a large home, this tank would not be the best option.

Just the perfect little homemaker!
