This post about my shower/bathroom is for Ally. |
In a way, this is ok. If I get up in the middle of the night and turn the AC off, I'm sweaty enough by the time I get up at 5:30am that the shower feels pretty good. And in the afternoon? Oof, you want it as cold as it can get! But there's something undeniably nice about being ABLE to control the temperature. Or maybe it's undeniably First World. Either way... I long for an apartment with hot water. (p.s. It looks like I've found it, too!)
Not that it matters much - I don't spend much time in there, honestly. I get it and get out. One reason is that it's cold, sure, but another reason is that I don't like getting all my stuff wet, or moving it out and back in. The first time I took a shower I forgot to remove all the toilet paper and it was partially ruined. Oops!
Wait, what? Ruined TP? In the shower?

At least it's in English, so I know what it's supposed to be doing, but isn't: providing my morning shower with a steady flow of electricity. |

Today, Friday, I'll be taking at least three showers (2 is standard for me): Regular morning, Pre-Demo Class (THANK GOD IT'S ALMOST HERE/OVER), and Pre-Wedding Dinner. Yippee! More on the last two next week!
* I promised Ally I'd write this post. This one's for Ally and Misty!!
UPDATE: A HUGE Thank you to my new friend from the same hotel, who tells me I just needed 10 seconds of patience and that the bottom left tab should be held in. WARM WATER on by birthday, and for my last two days in the hotel!! Next round of 333 is on me, amigo.
Are these the type that you have to turn on but have pressure off for like 20 minutes prior to shower to allow the heater to warm the on board tank a little? It looks like that might be the case but from what I read these are sold without the heating element installed and you have to add separately, so maybe it was a cost saving measure. If it's there it might be behind the on/off button. Even if it did heat up, you'd have to turn the pressure down to next to nothing because of the size of tank these things have, otherwise you get only a few seconds of warmth. Bummer dude. Homefully you'll be in your own apartment soon.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, Jason, I think you're right! I'm going to experiment with that tomorrow. Good detective work. Honestly it hasn't bugged me too much - in a land where it hasn't getton colder than 75 degrees it feels pretty good most of the time!
