It is really hard to enforce a permit when it is inside of the home and you are replacing not adding to the structure.
Anyhow, I still have an extra hot water tank if anyone needs or wants one. I looked up that I actually paid $250 for it and I offered it up for $150, oops. I will split that difference since it is just sitting around if anyone wants, $200. It is a scratch and dent model that was originally like $600. It has never been installed, but is dented on one side. /Thread hijack.
