Havent been posting because the house i bought from boomers is absolutely fucked and needed significant repair.
Lawsuit probably happening.
Purposeful damage or serious negligence?
Negligence that was wilfully concealed to sell the home.
Good luck on the lawsuit. Proving prior knowledge can be difficult. Also good luck on the repairs.
Kitchen looking way greener better.
I can not stress the amount of work I have put into this house.
Went to flush sediment from the water heater that had never been maintained. Ended up breaking thr basement window and the cold water supply valve. Went from no hot water to no water at all.
One step forward two steps back today.
If you live in a sediment heavy area you may want to consider a spin down filter, ion exchanger, or a brine system if you’re using well water.
I have all three of those (now) but the previous owners did not. During this process the cold water supply valve failed and the tank ended up filling even though the valve was "closed". So when I popped the heating elements out to change them, I dumped about 20 gallons of water in my basement.

Lots of firsts for me in this house, but it's revealed to me now that nothing is actually that hard if you're willing to learn.
