Wife wants to do an extreme bathroom makeover. Part of that would involve moving our hot water heater from a "closet" to the garage. The old "closet" area would then be incorporated into the new expanded bathroom. I guess I have two questions.
1. Can the hot water heater just be put on the garage floor, or do I have to build an elevated platform?
2. If I have to build a platform, where can I find the requirements for the platform? I am sure there is a building code for this.
For the record the hot water heater is a 50 gal electric.
