I did an earlier post on Tankless Water Heaters and now Consumer Reports has come out and said they are ok but pricey and have their quirks. They don't recommend the electric ones at all for the whole house. Some of the quirks are not enough hot water or hot water then cold then hot. Or if you don't run water enough the burners don't come and give you hot water.
The tankless heaters save about $70 a year in gas but because of the cost it can take 20 years for the unit to pay back and then it is time for a new one. It gas keeps going up of course the payoff will come much quicker.
We haven't installed one at my new home site, Westchester Estates in Chesapeake, Va, yet but I am hoping to have one soon.

The Harbour Side Marina and Restaurant in Suffolk, Va is in the news and not for its casual dining experience. It seems the new owners may have expanded the restaurant without proper environmental permits. The owner says he was acting within his rights under an exemption granted after Hurricane Isabel in 2003. That basically said you could rebuild within the same footprint. The owner has added floating piers and an outdoor deck made for parties. The deck probably got him in trouble as much as anything because of the noise. We will see how all this plays out after the court battles.

Imagine if you just sold a house and get a call from your buyer who says that he went to bed with the window open and woke to the roar of a lion outside his window or the noise of an elephant that can't sleep. That is exactly what happens to residents in the Riverview section of Norfolk. You see they live right outside the zoo. I don't know if you have ever heard three elephants yelling at the same time but it can cause quite a racket. We have disclosures for everything but not for zoos. Do we need one? What about the occasional animal that gets out and prowls the area? It could be dangerous. This didn't happen to me but I was out in the area and was thinking about just such a case. Anybody have any experience?

Public schools in Portsmouth have a feeding problem. Actually a paying problem for a feeding problem. It seems students in elemetary and preschool can charge lunch without limit. The School Board is trying to limit that to just one lunch. At .85 a meal you wouldn't think that would amount to much but as of right now it is at $260,000. That is a lot of free lunches. I will try and keep track of this and let you know what happens.

Oh my goodness. First I broke my ankle at my site at Westchester Estates in Chesapeake and now smoke is chasing me into Virginia Beach. It is affecting my lungs. Where is the smoke coming from? Apparently from North Carolina. They now have the privilege of having the largest wildfire in the country. It is in Hyde County and two others. The hot dry weather does nothing to help stop the fire from spreading. This is a view from the air.
