Install plastic pipe from the PRV discharge to the floor or better discharge location
open the water supply valve and check the prv threads for leakage
open the water discharge valve
start up the water heater

thanks for the advice. I''m hoping this would be the last resort. We called our "home inspector" and asked him about the lack of pressure valve. He said he would be back by to take another look at it. He would either take care of it===but he said if you call the home warranty dept---I guarantee they will be out in less than 15 minutes. I should tell you we purchased a home built in 2004---we are the 4th owner and the only owners to live here full time.
