I finally got the pilot light lit in the water heater

...after 1/2 hour! Part of the directions were covered by the piping on the heater and I finally got a 'How things work around the house' book out to find out how to light it! I kept tying to light that big round thing in the middle - I was wrong. I wonder how many people end up calling the electrician to do such a simple task-I almost did!

Like so many things, Jodi, if you try them, you probably will be able to do them. Glad you got it going on your own.
