This is what I had to do to get everything ready for the new water heater, over Labor Day weekend. Also, pic P1010013 features the hole where my left foot mistakenly went through. Interestingly, my lower right leg was the only part of me scuffed up. 17 of these beauties. Enjoy.
It's not what you think; it's small particles of the original rotted-out particleboard underflooring.Where I took a tumble(from above description).
Finally, the finished product. Ain't it just purdy?
