I was greeted yesterday by no hot water, and a great pond in my back yard. On further inspection, I found that my hot water heater was leaking water through the exhaust vent on the top. Nice way to start the day.
Off to Home Depot I went. I purchased a tankless water heater and all of the pipes, fittings, and accessories I thought I would need for the installation. I had to remove the old water heater and the enclosure it was in, that was the hardest part of the job. I had to make another trip to Home Depot to get some adapters and other fittings for re-routing the lines (Kurt's Law: No project can be accomplished with only one trip to Home Depot).
I completed the installation, and now we have as much hot water as we need, and it only heats what we use. Tankless water heaters are a great advancement over traditional water heaters. It was more expensive, but in the long run it will be worth it.
My thoughts on various things. Also some of the projects I've done, business information, and other (hopefully) interesting things.

Odette's printer problem
Sage Master Builder printing on the HP Laserjet 2100. When printing multiple checks (3 copies), the checks are printed in sequence 3 times (1001, 1002, 1003, 1001, 1002...). They should print in the order (1001, 1001, 1001, 1002, 1002...) because that is the order the check paper is in when it is loaded in the printer.
To fix this issue, change the default printer settings in the HP Laserjet 2100. Disable Advanced Printing Features and Print Optimizations. This will cause the pages to print in normal order. Thank you HP for simplifying things to the point of non-functionality again.

Must seriously blog now
It has become a requirement in the business community that one has a blog. I started this blog almost 2 years ago, and haven't touched it since. That could be a good thing, since I now have a blog that has been around for 2 years (supposedly it's better to have a blog that's been around).
Since the last blog, I did finish re-plastering the pool, we used it over the summer, but now it's empty again because of a leak in the pipe coming from the drain. That won't be too hard to fix, and we can be using it again this summer.
In addition to blogging, I have also found that YouTube is a very useful tool for marketing and proliferating ideas. I have uploaded an instructional video for one of my clients who sells motorcycle chocks for transporting your bike in a turck, trailer, or toy hauler. It's a great product, and I am happy to see he is doing well with it. The video is at EZ Chock Instructions.
I will soon be doing some posts regarding the products and services that we offer at Digital Aerospace Solutions.. We offer case management software for Private Investigators.
Thank you for visiting my blog.
