Photo Update
Kenny has been a busy. For the first time since we moved the Queen, every room has a ceiling. The master bath ceiling needs some work, but the attic is now fully partitioned from the living space. And it only took three and a half years!
The photo above is the attic scuttle in the panty. When I first inspected the pantry, I thought that Kenny had forgotten to build in a scuttle. I was wrong. He did such a good job of building it in that it is invisible. Wow.
The white flecks on the wood are bits of canvas and wallpaper hanging onto tack heads. The wood was all salvaged from a house in Atkins, and we haven't finished cleaning it up yet. I think we are going to leave the wood in its natural state. No oil, stain, or sealer.

Here is one of our two tankless water heaters. Not real pretty to look at, but there it is. I lobbied for installing these in the crawl space, but I was overruled by the wife and Charlie. They were concerned that the exposed metal (pipes and fittings) would leave the heaters vulnerable to freezing.
It is hard to tell what the hell this photo is of. It was taken from the small hall looking into the bathroom/laundry with its new beadboard ceiling in all its glory.

What brand of tankless water heater did you buy and why? Do you have any water pressure concerns?
I want to know more about the tankless water heater, too.
The tankless water heaters are Titans. I bought them online two years ago. I would have liked to have bought them locally, but no one in my part of the world carried them two years ago.
We are concerned about water pressure only insofar as the Queen has a very non-plumbing friendly floor plan. By the time the water reaches this part of the house, it's have travelled at least 100 feet from the main line into the house.
Maybe I'm a moron, but I'm not too worried about the heaters affecting waterflow themselves.
I'm hoping they work like a charm when we fire them up in a couple of months.
I am thinking about electric tankless water heaters myownself.
But I have only 100 amps and the geniuses down at the big box store said I needed at least 200 amps.
This is for a tiny cabin in the woods.
How many amps do you have?
We have a 200 amp box. I'm not sure if that means that you'd need one though. We have about 1850 square feet that we're heating & cooling, two tankless waterheaters, and all the usual stuff.
I'd consult an electrician. If you're cabin is really tiny and you're only installing one of these, 100 amps may be fine.
The size of the heater is another consideration. We got the biggest we could find. Each one is supposed to be enough to provide hot water to two bathrooms and a kitchen.
