Or at least painfully scald us. The shower has a mind of its own, and it keeps putting out scalding water. We realize that this is because we now live in a building and when someone flushes we get hot water, but we have always lived in small brownstones with maybe one or 2 more apartments, we have never experienced this type of painful shower experience or people who are constantly using the toilet.
I love a long hot shower. I know it isn't very "green" of me but, it's like a mini spa appointment. I relax, daydream, exfoliate, daydream some more ect. Apparently this is now over. I guess mother nature, like all mothers just has a way of making you stop doing something that isn't good for you.
The temperature does not stay even- one minute its a blissful shower experience, the next, you are jumping away, yelping, and checking that your skin is still on your body. It's awful. We are looking into these devices that bring the water to a dribble to avoid burns, but then most of our showers will be in spurts of water. We had better showers in the Serengetti when a pot of water was boiled and put in a perforated bag- they may have been short showers but at least the temperatures stayed consistent.
I think I am going to go the way of Winston Churchill and just take baths. That sounds pretty luxurious and spa like.
