Welcome ‘home’
Once, perhaps, a place of family warmth, security, refuge, arguments, problems, hopes and disappointments – of life itself.

I have a water heater in the ceiling.
I need the space for a new thing.
Options are;
demolish part of house to get the tank out intact,
or
demolish the tank to get it out in pieces.Now, I'm good with either, but the goal of "intact" seems moot to me since this heater has been in service for 43 years. But? Well I hate intentionally breaking things ....
Possible problem. The insulation. This plate says it was made in South Australia in 1983. I HOPE that date is past the last use of asbestos, but .... I don't KNOW that it is. Anyone know how to find out?
