It's not really a matter of man skills, it's purely time. Busiest time of the year for me and family coming in...... Perfect timing.....

Have an 18 month old, need the hot water that is still in there...... But thanks for being a dick. It is in the garage, so perhaps my statement was a bit dramatic.

Why are you heating hot water?
Because if you heated cold water it would take too long for the water to be heated up to the temp that you wan't. Since it's a hot water tank and not a long coil of water exposed to heat, it needs to be maintained hot for the end user to receive hot water.
Since most people define hot water as anything above 102* and most people set their tanks at 125-130, you therefore then must expect the heater to HEAT hot water back up to the temp selected at the control knob. (unless electric, most electric have no settings, they are just on and there, and hot)
So you are heating hot water, because if they only heated tap temp water it would take way too long for you to receive hot water at the tap.
Consequently, a tankless water heater could never be a "hot water heater" as it only heats tap temp water.

seriously.. diy..
Cut off the gas at the knob near the heater. take off the flex line (you really always want to use new lines, you don't have to, but it's the case of $50 saving possible hundreds down the line)
Cut the water supply off at the inlet valve to the tank. Then remove the stove pipe from the tank. Then drain the tank. I also like to turn the hot water on in the house to let air in the lines and help gravity do it's job.
After draining, just get a hand truck under the old one and take it out.
Installation is reverse of removal. One person can do it, but two people makes getting it in easier.

Hot water heater is redundant and incorrect
I agree, I was just being a tard.
I know it's a running joke. I just call them water heaters. But mainly because I don't want to sound funny. I do find a lot of people in the area call a hose a "hose pipe" that one gets me the most.
I guess "hot water heater" is just so common it don't bother me.

And if you don't have a cutoff valve installed on the inlet side, that is the perfect time to install one.

Thanks again for your input/help. I was able to get a plumbers name that I go to church with that is supposed to be reasonable. If he can not knock it out tomorrow I am going to have to take off work and do it myself. Looks like to should be pretty much bolt-on.

Yea same here but I like to pile on the joke. I too call it a water heater but I think the whole "hot water heater" thing is a southern thing because I haven't noticed it anywhere else.

If you're worried about the water draining out unexpectedly, why wouldn't you just drain it before that can happen. That wasn't a dick post, just something obvious that you might have overlooked
*A hot water maintainer would keep the water at a constant temperature all of the time. It would not drop, then heat, then drop, etc. It can be called both and there's nothing anyone can say about it

Lol.
I want an upholstered head board.
They make it look really easy on Pinterest but we're talking about me doing it.

The ones that attach to the wall then simply scoot the bed up to it?
That would be simple.

No. It's attached to a bed frame. I still don't think I could do it. The YouTube video I watch looked easy but they used tools I don't have.
