What did you do today?

[blackribbon]

This weekend I managed to get my laundry and grocery shopping done along with re-organizing my bathroom drawer and cupboards. I also had my RO filter replaced along with my water heater being drained and a plumbing inspection (which was pretty usless IMO) The only good thing about the plumbing inspection was that they drained the water heater. But then they quoted me for installing a new one and changing out some turn on valves and installing new sink fixtures all for a mere couple thousand dollars LOL. And none of anything they want to replace is broken. There is a small leak at the top of the water heater where the turn off valve is. I guess I have an old school turning knob instead of a gate and the knob probably has a washer and that's probably why it's leaking but it's VERY slow, no dripping and I don't have money to fix it right now.
I was thinking of getting a tankless water heater in the future whenever this one goes out, but I don't know too much about them. Anybody have one? thoughts?

Take some pictures of the leak and the valve that you think is leaking...from a bunch of different angles...measure it...and then go to the plumbing department at lowes or home depot and find out if the valve can be changed out. Tell them you are looking to buy some time to save up for a new one. See what they have to say. Also be sure to write down the brand and model of your waterheater
