1st! Enjoy your channel as a fellow tradesman, you’re a class act!
I appreciate that!
I'm amazed at the way you stand at the top of your foot stool. It looks very sketchy and In your sneakers too, ouch, birds feet. Lol.
But, you keep working like a machine, no wasted time, always moving efficiently. You must make a lot of money.
Good job sir!
Liked and subscribed. Good work!
Perfect!
What size was the drain pan for that 75 gallon water heater?
Can you make another video showing the use of the lifting cart? This video cuts off the view of the cart.
Nice job Dennis. Question for you. Is it ok to install a 75 gal tank with 3/4" NPT if your water inlet is 1"?
Yes, it is fine.
The only down side is the water volume transported is decreased. When you open all hot water tabs in the house you may notice slightly lower water flew than if you had 1” connector.
I appreciate your video, thank you for it! May I ask where you got your dollies or the name of them, please? I don't see them listed in the materials list.
Here are few options for you:

Has anybody complained about the WD-40 smell or taste after you spray the supply line rubber washers with it?
We have a Bradford White. It lasted 4 years and blew out. This sucks. Would never buy one again.
