@jmanic did you touch up the paint on the wall behind the tank while it was off? I would have had to do that given the opportunity...that stupid shit drives me crazy even though nobody can see it

Nah, we are changing color in there soon.
Ill make sure to half ass it so it’s white, mustard and whatever the new color is.

At the valve I think. Beyond my expertise in plumbing, waiting on the pro.

if it is the packing of an inlet steam valve, let a pro do it. it gets ugly - i worked on the one in my room at my parents house for a heating year.
and i'm still not sure what i did that actually fixed it.

Good thing about the shitty weather is time to do things inside, @Mathers what's the flooring choice? The room size should have some vinyl

I’m using Lifeproof from the Depot.
It’s going to be a lighter wood floor, Fresh Oak is the color.
