Pinging of hot water pipes is usually caused when pipes heat a cool they expand and contract. The expansion and contraction will cause a little rubbing where they are attached to joists. Its usually nothing to worry about. Regardless - Its always a good idea to be familiar with the operation of the systems in your house, especially where to turn off the water, electric and gas.

I have visions of it spewing out water (like our old one did) when I'm here by myself and I wont' know what to do. I've read the emergency instructions on the tank...but in an emergency will I know what to do...LOL. Your blog is full of great information and I've subscribed.
