Re: waterheater/gas - advice Water heaters are only good for a few years? I guess the definition of 'few' is up for debate, as is water quality, maint., etc. 
Many sources will state the usable lifespan for an electric unit is 10-15yrs and 15-18yrs for gas. The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) gives electric 14yrs and gas 11-13yrs.
Did I mention the one I've got(and currently using) was made in 1976? I'd take a picture of the data plate but taking the blanket and straps off are a pain. It will probably be replaced in June, however, by one with a 12year warranty. I'd better get 20yrs or more out of it.
