Glad you are loving the new place!!

That bad hot water smell of rotten eggs could be from a rod that is in the hot water tank that. I think it's called an anode rod?? (sp) When the hot water is not used and water doesn't filter through it can build up that smell in the water for a bit. Also, sometimes the rod doesn't work properly and has to be replaced (if possible) otherwise the tank needs to be replaced. We had that same problem in an area where there was a not of iron in our water....very hard water is rough on those things.

Enjoy your new place! Hope it's comfy and cozy for you
