Kathy,
Yay! That's really great. It's good to have helpful friends who are there
for you when needed.

Apropos of nothing I finally got the GH heater back online. Well, I
really didn't have anything to do with it. All I did was take it out of
the GH, try to take the gas valve assembly off (all connections were
rusted solid, too) and give up. Then a friend's husband said 'let me take
a look' and after honing out the corroded pilot light and getting the new
gas valve assembly to hook up correctly it fired right up! There's
something to be said for knowing people who own every tool known to
mankind, as well as how to use them! Now I just have to soap the
connections to be sure they don't leak and its done. Just in time, its
been getting pretty cold out there. Anyway. Life is good.
