    I too have found home ownership to be a money pit, but mostly in a self inflicted way. We bought a 100+ year old house in an expensive neighborhood and elected to do some large renovations. Though we did get hit with some fun (expensive) surprises along the way that weren’t our fault.

    How has your experience with the tankless water heater been?

      I absolutely love it. Granted I have a ton of hair, so I end up taking fairly long showers. I would quite often run out of hot water when we had a tank. It probably does encourage wasting water, since it takes longer to heat up and then you don’t have a sudden influx of cold water to speed you up at the end of the shower.

        Yeah, the time to heat has been my only real complaint. I know you can get point of use solutions to eliminate that too but that’s even more $$. Going tankless and remodeling one of the bathrooms to be a wet room was a big value add now that we’ve got two little kids who splash everywhere and have to be dragged out.
