Found $5k under the water heater!!!
Well... I closed on this 3/1 SFH on Wednesday, started demo and decided to replace the hot water heater since it was old, empty and someone already stole the copper going to it. I got a nice surprise when I removed it.. I found plumbing and drain from a previous toilet under it! also plumbing for a sink in the wall! it use to be a half bath.. why would anyone do that?? the water heater use to be in a closet and its going back. This has to increase the value of the house $5k
