he day you get a leak in the line or the heater itself and have to replace all drywall and carpeting under that space especially if you were out on vacation then you will never put them in the attic again
That's why you have catch basins under them with pvc pipes draining those out to the exterior of the house. There is always some nightmare scenario I suppose, but I've got all kinds of other water lines running through my attic that could cause the same issue.

Good things we did:
Tankless Hot Water Heaters
Semi-Open Kitchen Living Room concept
Big Master suite and bath.
Big Master closets.
Big porches, we spend a lot of time outside cooking and relaxing.
Things I would do different:
Pour sidewalks with the build... I'm still catching crap for not doing that.
REAL fireplace.... gas heat is expensive!
More storage.... we built a lot. and need even more.
Functional attic space. I thought it was a given that attic space could be converted to storage but between duct work and the truss style they used this has not really been the case.
Nothing to do with the house itself but I would have built a shop first. 13 years later and still don't have one.
