Had to do that so I could gut the good case (bad pump & guts), then gut the good transmission with the cracked case, and reassemble the good guts in the good case.

Audi sucks and so do junk yards. Calls for ten hours to rebuild it and ten hours to r&r. Actually this customer sucks too because he didn't want to just swap out the trans @ the yard because they didn't have another low miles trans... (70k vs 140k)

Right now our master bath is on the opposite wall from the hot water heater. the heat is there in less than 5 seconds. on the opposite side of the house, the kitchen sink on a water saver faucet takes about 5 minutes, no joke, to get the heat. Subject to a GC's opinion, we are planning to build the house so that kitchens and baths are all closest to the tank as possible.

It can help if you insulate the pipes all the way as well. At least that way the resting water inside them stays warm (depending how long you go between uses).

In the morning I walk into the bathroom and immediately turn on the shower, full hot no cold, then get undressed and get ready to get in, then dial back the heat. That leaves enough time to get it ready for me.
 
Recirculating hot water would solve the instant on hot water problem.. or ditch water heaters and go tankless but I don't recommend that based on some experiences of others that had it installed.

For us, we are hoping to come up with plans that support little wasted hot water. So if it takes 5 minutes to get warm, and warm is needed, thats 5 minutes wasted cold water, and the whole line when shut off then goes cold and thats wasted hot water. The hope is that if the master bath, the kitchen, and the tank can all share the same wall somehow... Just blue sky thoughts really, who knows if its even doable or up to code.

you could definitely put a hot water heater in a closet that is next to these and have the kitchen and master bath share a wall. Or have the water heater in a basement/crawlspace that is directly under these 2. Hot water recirculation could definitely do this also, in an existing home. It recycles the hot water back to the tank; heater might run a little more often, but no wasting of hot or cold.

They make a under sink hot water heater. You loose a lot of storage and they are more of a booster than anything they will heat the water in the pipe until you get to the hot water from the tank.
