Fun with Furnaces

tank

I am the proud new owner of this lovely "expansion tank." This is good because it means I have heat again—an essential element to life in the northeastern US during the winter.

It is my understanding that this expansion tank is superior to other expansion tanks because it is red.

And as it turns out, all the plumber had to do was drain out the water, unscrew the old, install the new (with Teflon tape) and bleed the pipes. I felt a little silly to have paid him to do something so easy.

It would if I spray-painted it!

If I were going to stay here... I'd use stencils and make it fab. Whaddaya say we go into business painting dik-diks on expansion tanks? It's all the rage.
