My son has one day of school this week. Hopefully, i get the new hot water heater installed this morning. When you get a propane heater, the price rises quite a bit.

I bought a propane water heater too. Trying to get off the big electric appliances here. i still haven’t gotten around to installing it yet as the electric one was pretty new. I just have too many other projects going on honestly. I do think its a smart move as far as prepping goes. I love hot water and will go to great lengths to avoid a cold shower!
I won't have a gas heater,years ago we had one that went bad the pilot light went out and I went down to relight it,,,the control valve had failed and when I tried to relight it we had a small gas explosion burned most of my hand removed the hair on my arm and both eyebrows,,,,they cost more to run but I will stick to electric

Again, where is the government going to find 32 million acres of farm land without stealing it from White farmers first?? And don't you see this as extremely racist? Hell, I could use another 160 acres too.

Wish you the best.
GG I love my gas. There are probably lots of safety measures since your accident.
Brent, the recovery time between gas and electric is worth it for me. We take lots and long showers and the water heats really fast. The propane tanks are even more expensive than natural gas though. Going through Lowes or Home Depot can take 2 weeks to get. The Lochinvar plant is about 20 miles away so my plumber can get it same day.
Oh Jonntte! That is a sign of complete exhaustion. You must rest!

I got the instant or tankless type. I honestly have no complaints about my electric water heater now as it’s big enough to never run out for our needs. My goal has been to switch over to solar for everything except the central heat and air here. I’m slowly moving forwards on that. I don’t know if getting propane refills will be available during a crisis or not, but I do know that the grid can go down in an instant. We just recently had a couple days without it here. At least with the 500lb propane I will have weeks of gas to transition into a more primitive mode of life. The wood stove is always an option, but it’s a lot more labor intensive than my current options.

I've got a electronic ignition propane tankless water heater, no pilot light. I turn the tap on and I get hot water. No complaints. Since I'm on solar an electric water heater wasn't an option.

Its really cold here today. Had a doctor's appointment this morning. Going down south the get my tires balanced and pickup another hay tarp. I managed to get another load of hay home yesterday, not with out problems of course. Instead of unloading the trailer I'll just cover it and feed it first.

Thank you and everyone else for your concerns. Had my third round of xrays today and so far so good. Swelling is going down and the bruising is healing. The bone is not showing much healing yet though. We will go back in a couple weeks and xray again to monitor and make sure the bone alignment is good. If not then he will put screws in the foot. I have lots of reading to do and am taking an online class in medicinal herbs. Building those skills always!
Everyone stay safe DD
A Vietnamese station on 5.8MHz (during the short english speaking section) talked about how many shortwave political stations are being jammed. They even referenced a few from my state. The BS must be thick to start censoring shortwave radio broadcasts!
I have a unit but am clueless how to use. I will turn it on and see if i hear any chatter about jamming frequencies.
