One of the best inventions ever, in my opinion. When I was a child in UK, all our water was heated by a coal fired Rayburn so even on the hottest days, the fire had to be kept going for cooking and hot water, and we had to plan ahead for anyone to have enough hot water for a bath. Thats probably why I really appreciate the ability to turn on a tap and have HOT water come out immediately!<BR/>As I think I mentioned in a previous post, The Space Cadet can fix just about ANYTHING!Shammickitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11969803866899076638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3154204376346679777.post-17342556673456748142007-06-14T20:22:00.000-04:002007-06-14T20:22:00.000-04:00Wow!

So thank you very much.<BR/><BR/>By the way, you can go to Lowes or some other big box stores and buy a little device that sets on the floor under the water heater and should it ever drip it will contact the feet of this thing and the thing will make a loud sound to alert you the water heater is leaking. It saves a lot of grief.<BR/><BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://brookvilledailyphoto.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">Brookville Daily Photo</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3154204376346679777.post-5727949339252477572007-06-13T13:36:00.000-04:002007-06-13T13:36:00.000-04:00Hi, you were commenting on the sculpture in my las...Hi, you were commenting on the sculpture in my last post. It was taken at the Hilton Times Square. All of the art pieces are rounded little figures with very minimal facial features. For some reason I forgot to get the artists name and I can't find any information on him now. The front of the hotel has a huge clock with these little characters around the outside edge. They are almost cartoonish.<BR/>My husband said why did you crop the picture so tight you can't tell what it is. My answer was and is ,.. Because...I like it that way and it says what I want it too.
