Episode 4 | Water Heater Replacement | Connecting the new water heater, gas line, and filling it up

This is the fourth video in a series to show the process of replacing my leaking Richmond Water Heater with a larger, commercial unit with side outlets for my Central Boiler wood burning furnace. The process was long and I learned from many mistakes. I wanted to share some of that with you so hopefully you can avoid the same mistakes.
This is the first video series I ever shot as I am learning to record and edit DIY videos for UA-cam. It was shot in November of 2019 and not edited and finalized until November of 2020. The goal was to connect with my son, who did some of the camera work, and let him edit the video to work together. However, the “fumes” of life have distracted him (exhaust fumes and perfumes) and 1-year later, I found the videos untouched. So I am putting it together myself. I apologize for some video foul-ups I discovered now, a year later.
