when im doing the dishes and when i go to rinse with hot water the water starts off cool then warm then gradually to hot, then it vibrates the hell out of the pipes almost shaking up the house. This just started happening recently.

There may be air in the line - Turn water off, open all faucets, sinks & tub...then turn faucets off. Turn water back on and slowly turn all faucets back on and let run until they dont "spit" any more. If the tank is old or if water supply has alot of minerals in it, the bottom of the tank may be full of settlement and you'll probably have to replace the tank. Good Luck :)

Air in the lines. Do you ever check to see if the hot water heater is full of water?
Not seeing, being there that's my first guess.
There is a release value on top of your hot water heater. If it is not completely filling up, it may have a lot of air in it. The over flow pipe/pan will catch the water if the problem is not water. I hold it till the water comes out, that way you know it is not the case of air if water flows out right away. If it is this, will rid the heater/lines of the air.
Also you need to completely drain your hot-water heater at least every year. The chemical build-up will damage your heater if not done.

Over the years water deposits will collect inside the lines. This is more pronounced in the hot lines than cold although both do form calcium and iron decosits. due to the 45 and 90 degree turns in the plumb lines, and due to these deposits... as water travels around the corners and starts to flow it creats water turbulance inside the line... it is this turbulance and the fact that the lines are left during construction loose in order to avoid breakage that has come together most recently to cause your problem. A plumber can remove your main line inlet and place a compound into the lines that will disolve the deposits and stop this problem. if you have a water softener or reserve tank you can buy the product at wal-mart to do it your self.
NOT TO BE ONE WHO CAN NOT ADMITT WHEN I AM WRONG... I MUST TELL YOU... I WAS WRONG. GIVEN THE VOLUME OF DIFFERENT ANSWERS YOU RECIEVED ON THIS ISSYE... I DID THE RESEARCH FOR YOU. TURND OUT THE PROBLEM IS CAUSED BY WATER PRESSURE IN EXCESS OF 100 PSI. WERE YOUR NORMAL PRESSURE IN RESIDENTIAL HOMES SHOULD BE AROUND 70. I HAVE LISTED MY SOURCE CONCERNING THIS AND HOPE THAT THIS HELPS. COPY AND PASTE THIS TO YOUR SEARCH AND YOU MAY READ THE WHOLE ARTICLE. THANKS AND SORRY FOR THE WRONG INFO AT THE START.

Have you had any pluming work done recently? It sounds like an air hammer. Somehow you got air in the lines. It will have to be removed. Contact a plumber for details. You might also have a water leak somewhere. Get it checked.

Likely there is a broken pipe bracket somewhere. Get a flashlight and explore.

Could be a bad washer or 0 ring at the faucet.
