Re: [VAL] Glyn's Water Heater
Gary,
Been there, done th............
I did that very thing a few days ago when starting this project. I must
be a slow learner because that action brought back a flood of memories of
doing the same thing lying on the basement floor with a match in one hand, a
finger of my other hand on the (partially depressed) big red button and a
small flashlight held in my teeth until the match burned my finger tips and
had not yet lit the dam#%* pilot light!!
Oh, so the flashlight can also be used to see if the red knob is turned
enough before trying to light the pilot? And here I thought its only
purpose was to illuminate the darkest reaches of that big black hole where
all the little pipes disappear into.
Grins,
Glyn
