The nicest thing about the setup is that about 1/2 of them are empty.

My brother and sister-in-law appear to be on the verge of purchasing a home which means they will vacate our basement. That, in turn, means we will start our first upgrade project by redoing the basement bathroom, furnace area, and the basement floors.
General upgrade question: I'm almost positive we will switch to a tankless water heater as part of this project. Any recommendations besides just picking the highest capacity/highest rated at Home Depot?Comment

I’m no expert on those things, but I know people that have them and know their complaints. If possible, I’d suggest finding a way to have the water recycle through when it’s not in use. That way it doesn’t take forever for hot water to get to the tap. The biggest complaint I’ve heard is it takes forever to get hot water.Originally posted by Omaha 680 View Post"Discipleship is not a spectator sport.

Hmmmm. I haven't heard that one. My current system takes a good 30 seconds for the water to warm up in the master upstairs if we have been gone all day so I can't imagine it being worse than that. We had a tankless heater in our NYC apartment and loved it, but that was for 900 sf.Originally posted by Moliere View PostComment

We got one about a year ago., a Rinnai, which seems to be popular. It works as advertised, and with four women in the house, it is nice to not have to worry about the temperature of the water.Originally posted by Moliere View Post
We did not get a recirculator, and I am regretting it. The time it takes for hot water to get to the tap is probably 50% longer than it previously was. I'll be looking into them when I get a chance.Comment

Pretty similar for my family (7 of us). Its awesome to never worry about hot water. BTW the bathtub takes just as long as it always does.Originally posted by Clark Addison View Post"Be a philosopher.

I looked into tankless a few years back when my water heater went out. I decided it was more hassle than it was worth. Instead, on the new water heater I turned-up the heat a little bit. I don't know if it's all just having hotter water, or if the new water heater is more efficient at heating the water, but since that last change, I've never run out of hot water or even had it cool off a little, and I take some long showers.
Now inline water heaters--that's what I really want to get. The problem is I'd have to do some rewiring to get 220 where I need it. Not worth the hassle.Comment

I had my water heaters replaced about three years ago. They are in my attic (typical for Houston) and one of them was clearly starting to go and the last thing I wanted was a leaking tank in my attic. I loooked at tankless water heaters but just couldn’t justify the cost and we also couldn’t put in a recirculator, which was a killer.
A Ward family had just put in a tankless and they said it took twice as long to got hot water. I figured that since we have two units for a total of 80 gallons and that we really only need hot water half the year because the rest of the time the water is warm enough just from the faucet, that a tankless just wasn’t worth it.
now, if I was building a home from scratch and could put in a decent recirculator, I’d likely put in a tankless. Maybe in my next home."Discipleship is not a spectator sport.

We have a tankless without the recirculator. It might take a little longer to get hot water, but at this point it really didn't occur to me that it's taking longer. Which means it must not be longer enough to bother me. It was nice to be able to take a shower after my teenage daughter and still have hot water, for sure. It was more expensive - but we got a bit of a deal having it put in at the same time we were getting a water softener, which helped.Comment

I've spent the last few years watching entertainment on either phones, tablets, or computer monitors. So has my wife. My kids still watch the TV but I rarely do anymore. However, I've been experiencing some Arma and neck numbness that my rehab Dr says is the result of watching electronic devices with terrible posture. So I'm trying to watch more on the traditional TV. Our current "big" TV is only 45" and I've become more blind in the years since I watched it much. So I'm in the market for a new TV. But I'm a complete idiot on what to look for quality wise.
Our front room isn't very big (seating maybe 13 to 15 feet away from the TV) so I'm thinking anywhere from a 65" to a 75". I mostly watch streaming services (Netflix. HBOmax, YouTube TV) and would probably hook up the Switch docking station to it. My biggest pet peavey is wash out or fuzziness during dark scenes, but I've really only experienced this on a tablet. Do I need to be careful or are most modern TVs good for the most part?Comment

Get an LG OLED and you shouldn’t have any problems with dark washout. I would go as big as possible. You won’t regret it. I have 86” (sofa back is 15 feet from the screen) and it’s awesome.Originally posted by USUC View Post

Thank you. I'll look into it. Are there different series of the LG OLED or is this a specific model?Originally posted by Donuthole View PostComment

86” OLED? Are you made of money?Originally posted by Donuthole View Post
i just got an OLED but only 65”. It was spendy but totally worth it. The darks/blacks are incredible and I have no buyers remorse at all."Discipleship is not a spectator sport.
