I will be using the flex lines for water and gas. I guess I'm fortunate that I haven't hit Condition Red yet. I'm actually taking my time and just doing it at my pace.


I've also gotta get someone to look at my refrigerator's freezer compartment. It's more like a "melter" compartment. :) Good thing I have a freezer in the laundry room.

Are you using flexible lines to connect it to your pipes?  Mine was
soldered directly with copper pipes, so I had to get creative with the
flexible lines to make the 60 gallon fit where a 40 gallon was... and
when a major appliance like the water heater fails it is DEFCON 5 at
my house...
