I prolly should have, Meh.  Instead I sent a replacement water heater, installer, DVD player, new DVD player, installer again...until guest stopped reporting trouble. 

She never got hot water back.  I refunded $300 back, before she told me hot water gone 5 of her 7 day trip. 

Maddening, there's not enough follow up.

I'll second that motion!

Potential marketing idea: there are a LOT of idealistic young people (with cash) looking for "off grid, primitive lifestyle" development projects. Personally, I'd never own anything near the ocean again but it IS a pleasant life for awhile.
Success is never final, failure is never fatal.
