There's nothing like spring cleaning in middle of the summer. Lawd! Am I hot. I have pulled out every appliance in the kitchen and vacuumed, dusted, and mopped behind each of them.

Let me tell you how scary it is to vacuum a hot water heater. Every noised it made, I kept jumping back thinking "this is it, it's going to explode"

Granted, it's a very rare occasion for one of these things to blow. Especially a hot water heater turned all the way to the max heat and a 1 inch layer of dust....combine that with a vaccum cleaner, any second this thing is going to blow!

glad, that's done.
