Water heater fixed. :check:

Woohoo! I got the water heater done. Smooth sailing, only cost me twenty bucks in parts. It was kinda weird how I had to get the new one. The manufacturer told me to just go to Menards and get a new one. So I called Menards and said I was replacing it and they told me to bring in the old one and pick up the new one. No one checked anything, no reciepts, I had a number from the warranty claim department but they didn't want it, they didn't even ask my name or look at my old water heater. I unloaded it next to the loading bay and they brought me a brand new one.
