On the topic of the idea I have for a propane(tankless) hot water heater see the rendering on the later pictures on my photo-sharing site:

I am considering asking a surveyor about this to see if it will pass a surveyors inspection since someday I may need to get this done anyways. Any initial thoughts or suggestions? I did contact a local (inland) surveyor who told me to just read over the AYBC standards.
Also, I am ready to install the thru hulls (Maeleron type) exactly how do you do that? Does the paint have to be stripped around the mushroom part? I'm planing on using 5200 sealant around that critical area (on the inside and out.) Thanks, summer rains to start soon.
