I'm needing to replace my roof. Would really like to do a metal roof but will certainly get quotes for metal and shingles. Any recommendations for triad area roofers?
My Rinnai is nearly 10 years old and I wouldn't trade it for the world. Endless hit water at a much cheaper rate than a traditional tank hot water heater.
I wouldn't worry about a couple hundred pounds. You easily have that weight in snow during the winter.

Not designed for it, but like tsy said, you'll be fine.
While he should be fine, there is a difference in the loads/stresses between snow sitting on a roof, and weight hanging from the rafters.
I'm not sure that's true.
We recently built a house and I did some online research (i.e. Consumer Reports) that seemed to argue tanked gas was still the right answer. The kicker is the upfront cost of the tankless unit. Anyway, the price point on the units may have changed and altered that equation.
Thanks, y'all. I think I'm going with a couple of racks and will make plans to reinforce with cross beams down the road. Not overly concerned about snow weight - it comes and goes pretty fast in Denver.
Our hot water heater should be able to keep water hot for back to back showers, right? It’s electric from 2010 so from a quick google search shouldn’t need to be replaced yet.
It’s in the basement - the previous owners actually had it wrapped but our inspector said that doesn’t really do anything and suggested they remove it. Wish we had left it if it actually helps!
our issue was more like we felt that the water itself was not as hot (and running out quickly) - after some reading/sleuthing, learned the water heater can work just as hard to maintain water that's 3-5* colder if the water heater is not in a conditioned space. because the hot water itself is actually hotter now, we can dilute it with more cold.
could you set the temp limit on your hot water higher? if you're currently having to run 80% hot 20% cold to get the right temp water, if you increase the max temp you could use less hot water to get to the same 'right' temp.
That’s what I was thinking we should try first. My dads coming over today so I have a list of stuff to ask him to help us adult and do. Kind of feels like our house is falling apart which is NEAT.
