Re: isn't religion great?

I think any religion is asking for trouble when a ceremonial knife is part of the dogma.

Re: Tankless water heaters!

Well thats good, you must have good water, and you probably would be better off as you are. A 40 Gallon tank is kinda small for a family though.

Re: Tankless water heaters!

I guess the laws of Physics work differently in Ohio. A 17 year old tank is antique by industry guidelines, (you probably have an electric unit) I'd have a good plumber on standby if I was you.

Re: Tankless water heaters!

With a cost at $1500 for a tankless system you would see a good return in savings. A Water heaters life expectancy is about 8-10 Years (Max) and a small 150L tank costing about $800 (GVRD Prices)....

Re: House Sales

The Vancouver Housing market is very vibrant at the moment, inventory is down, so some speculation about small house price rises by fall.
You can own a property (Condo -$250K) for $1000 a month.
