i had a fight with a 16 year old gas hot water heater. its pilot jet turned out to be rather clogged/corroded. so, i drilled it out. not that i meant to drill it out quit that much, mind you. oh well, so theyll be paying a little more in gas bills than they should. heh. -- dave hillstrom mhm15x4 zrbj <This space for rent.>

Didn't that involve 16-year-old copper or steel lines? I've got a water-heater that's probably at least twice that old that needs moved up about an inch or two (onto a concrete pad), but I'm afraid to move the copper lines, or even sneeze around 'em, really. -- tinmimus99@hotmail.com smeeter 11 or maybe 12 mp 10 mhm 29x13 You want a job and a lizard to ride? < _The Einstein Intersection_
