And it gives you FREE mulch for your garden and grass. Lowes have a build it your self listed on their website. Also coffee grounds and tea bags make great fertilizer too, if you dont have compost bin. It saves the earth too. Give back to Mother earth, we take enough from her anyway! Reuse what you can before you throw it out, like dryer sheets for dusting, plastic forks and spoons, those popsicle sticks from fruit pops (esp if you have kids) Make a compost, if you pay for garbage this will save you LOTS of money, and saves money on trash bags ect.

Check out the Wikipedia article on water heating: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_heater It says that at 100% efficiency (note: gas water heaters max out at 86% efficiency), a 40k BTU gas burner could heat 40 gallons of water in 25 minutes; 30 min for an electric heater. Thus, maybe 30-45 minutes under normal conditions (and with a non-100%-efficient heater) would be realistic. Caveat: it's Wikipedia, and I don't know enough chemistry to check it.
