great going!!! so is getting that hot water tank and those pipes insulated next on your to-do list? it's unseasonably hot where I live but I know we could see the white stuff falling from the sky by end of next month so we are on a mission to take advantage of some upcoming cooler weather to 'get er done' on our annual winterizing projects.

Yes it is the next job on the list, it just one of those items I keep putting off until a cooler or rainy day and not have to do something else for anybody else. I really want ot have it done by end of Sept! We shall see
