YeeHaw! I've got electric heated water!

Thanks to Bobby and Jim, I did some knuckle-bustin' work on the hot water tank.....in our beautiful Ohio rain (ha ha)! Metered the heating element and found out that I was getting 120 on sight. After removing a few screws here and there, pulled out the element....or what was left of it. Looks like it's had better days.....or resembled more like something that they pulled off the Titanic! Anyway, went to the local Minard's hardware store with my artifact in-hand and measured it up to the right element. Returned home, reflushed tank, screwed 'er in and a short time later, voila! So thanks for the help guys! D

May I make a suggestion about flushing the tank? In the past, I relied on water coming into the tank to expel any chunks of gunk in the tank out the anode rod hole. Well, this time I used the little plastic wand you can get a Camping World. What a difference! Took another 10 minutes to get everything out. Just an FYI.
