So off to the plumbing supply house I go for a new-fangled tankless water heater. They sell them by gallons per minute and since I have teenagers under the roof and lots of square footage I wound up popping for an 11 gallon a minute "money saver". These things are great for installing in new construction but putting the vent and intake through the foundation requires three inch pipe through a 19 inch thick brick wall.

That was the bulk of Day One. I did get it roughed in but didn't even consider doing a pressure test and had all sorts of fun locating a 3/4 inch flexible supply line to feed the beast. We woke up to cold showers on Friday.

It's up and running. The electric is temporary and I'm heading down to run a circuit to feed it and the condensate pump ASAP. Merry Christmas to me!!!!
The good news is the thing is amazing. I don't know about the cost savings but you can run a faucet wide open for an hour and it'll still deliver the same hot water as it did in the first minute or two. I'm going to have to put a coin operated truck stop style timer on the shower or my boys will live in there.
