Yep me too. And it is raining also. Got the tablesaw chores out of the way, now finally replacing the last of the fluorescent fixtures with LEDs. I get a lot of use out of the old HF rolling scaffold but these days I add safety chains. My balance and also bounce-ability not what it used to be.

I put in hot water and a big sink about 8 years ago very nice!

I put ratchet straps across the top. A little tension to take the slop out makes them a lot sturdier.

That's a good idea!

Pieced together two pieces of scrap from the black ribbed thin vinyl floor runner I used for the countertop and put it down on the cabinet base to finish it off. Trying to decide if I should add a couple of swinging doors on the sink cabinet or keep the utilitarian look (which I kinda like) and save a few dollars on hardware?

Sure... did a bunch of research and settled on this one. Bosch 4 gallon that runs on 110v. There is a 2.5gal version and a 7gal (220v) but I figured this will handle 5gal bucket of hot water and all the hand washing I can throw at it.

Weird! Your link says Amazon but .. it takes me to that WH on eBay?

How long does it take to get hot water from when you turn it on?

We're rebuilding our outdoor kitchen and I'd like to replace the small conventional WH that cost electricity to keep water hot 24/7.

Looks like the Bosch is about 1/2 the size of our existing one.

Thanks!

Edit: the price on eBay is $258. On Amazon $178.

Since the water tank is hot and directly under the faucet it only has to travel a couple feet or so of flex braided supply line. Since my faucet is tall and the hose head is retractable it has a little longer to go than a typical sink hook up. You might cut a second off your time if you had a shorter run. :laughing:

Notice the T on the cold side. This is where the cold supply line gets split for hot and cold water. Don't do what I almost did and hook up the supply to the pressure relieve valve thinking the red and blue are your hot and cold outlets to your faucet.

So .. it keeps 4 gallons heated all the time? If it's off, any idea how long to get to temperature? I probably wouldn't want to run it constantly .. in our O/D kitchen.
