Cost for new tank and lines: $4000- Ancient HVAC at another house failed (I was expecting this one) - another $4000.

If you did buy WestChase, to me that is not the end of the World there are other areas I would prefer less, I grew up in 32210 so I am better with that area than ancient Architecture in urban core Zip codes. 

Obviously, I’m right and their wrong (LOL).The two books that are an exception, are ancient.
