"Put the hot water heater in a place that ain't dirty where you is going to
use the most hot water. If the hot water pipes is long, and they ain't got
no stuff on them (if they is nekkid), then your bills is going to be sky
high. Don't cover nothing up, so folks can get to them them funny things on
the front if they needs to."
