I think the house itself is maybe 1280sf + 2 car garage (3bd/2 ba), while our first house is 980sf + 1 car garage (3bd/1 ba) ... the lot size is the main difference. 10,000sf (if that= 1/4 acre) vs. 5000sf. Wider in the backyard than the front yard. Decent size for cheaper suburbia around here. It's a good house for the hubster to spend his days frittering around in for sure. Garage came with some ancient beat up but still functional metal workbench/cabinets too. Actually, come to think of it ... I may have to "chase" him in circles around house/yard just to find him as he moves constantly from place to place like a jackrabbit with all his "project spots". Hm. I am lazy. Maybe I can install a comprehensive intercom system and just page him from my tech-cave. 1 “Things are as they are.

majestic Posted November 11, 2021 Posted November 11, 2021 5 minutes ago, Sarex said: They are usually really cheap no, water heaters that is? Depends on what you need. There's like one company left making boilers of the size I had with the same form factor, and they're making you pay through the nose for them, so a cheaper one with less capacity it was, which necessitated some installation work that I neither wanted to nor actually could do myself. Still, the bill ended up being half of what the other boiler would have cost (as in, just the hardware). Talking about 400€ in terms of pure hardware costs, but that is a quality product that'll last for a while. Could find some for half of that, but you get what you pay for, and all that.

majestic Posted November 11, 2021 Posted November 11, 2021 Just now, Sarex said: Is that for a tankless water heaters or a regular one but with a stainless steel tank? That's for an 80l stainless steel tank boiler. Tankless would only make sense if I switch to gas heating (even with gas prices being what they are), and that's a whole lot of upfront cost for barely any gain, as I don't heat my apartment with it. I mean, we do have a gas powered central heating system, but it's not running off my warm water supply. No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering.

That seems like a lot of money for that, but then again different standards of living and all that. There are electric tankless water heaters, but they require proper electrical installations from the main line to it. Wanted to get 2 tankless for my apartment, but the building installation couldn't handle the load or at least the electrician wasn't comfortable with that idea.

Yeah, to be honest, I just complained about the bill because I'm a regular miser who agonizes over everything. The only things I regularily buy without thinking too much are silly tech gadgets and games. I sit here complaining about having to buy a new boiler but I do have a 300€ floating lava rock here that serves absolutely no purpose. Except for floating. It's supposedly stable enough to hold a bonsai tree, but I'm not going to try that, and one power outage is liable to produce quite a mess when it comes tumbling down. Still fun to look at though. Really powerful magnetic field too.
