Unless your water heater explodes? :lol:

I guess this is a weird wish, but I love storms, and I think it would be so fine to build an ICF house down at the shore and watch storms from the safety of my fortress........it won't happen, but dreams are free.

The people that sell you the stuff should have told you how to prevent blowouts.

Well, they won't sell you the stuff without a training program which wasn't too bad but like everything, you get better as you go along.

O. I think that the guys that I know actually show you how to set it up, and will help you, if you need help. ...I think. I'm sure that they would help me. 8)

Bugger!!! You beat me by a couple hours..... :cry: :cry: I was coming here to post that exact link!
Like all the other video I've seen, they underestimate how far up it's gonna go and the tank disappears from the camera for a while....
It's still a "must see"!
