[C320-list] Water Heater antifreeze hoses

[John Meyers]

I replaced my heater and hoses last year. It was not as bad as I thought.
There is a lot of hose so that when you pull out the heater you can pull
the hose out enough to get to the clamps that attach the hoses to the
heater.

If you pull out the cubby hole under the stove you should be able to handle
the hoses out and in without much trouble.

I don't know the size of the hose nor don't remember the length.  Just
measure the hoses after you get them out and get new ones the same length.

The hardest part of the project was wrestling out the heater and putting
the new one in but that part could have been just been clumsy me.
