  1. I used metal rescue. 2 gallons, it took the patine right off. The hardest part was plugging the big hole for the fuel pump. I ended up filtering the first gallon and partially submerging the tank in one of those Rubbermaid bins. Awkward but it worked. 

  2. There is no Miracle gutter, no matter what you end up buying you still need to clean them out from time to time. My dad has spent hundreds on various gutter "shields" the only thing they did was make my job harder when I'd go over to clean them out.

    I don’t see a failure point issue.  I’m doing the plumbing, not someone else.  

     

    Add "Master Plumber" to your ever growing list of expertize. I was going to try and re-explain why this is a bad idea, but I'll let you learn it the hard way. 

  4. Just don't do it. You're planning a redundant hot water source that will only cause you grief. What's the worst that will happen if your new water heater goes tits up? A few cold showers. What's the worst that WILL happen when your old tank leaks or blows up? A flood, possibly no water at all, and sooner or later that old tank is going to have to come out. Pay a little now, or a lot later. 

    Up here home owners /business insurance won't cover any water damage caused by an electric  tank over 10 years old. 

  5. I'll echo what was said above. Spray in insulation (pay to have it done). Drop ceiling (a pain I the ass to install) or paint, it does a decent job. 

    If you really want to soundproof get some roxul and stuff it in-between the joists.
