No hot water December 07, 2006 12:21:59 PM
Every morning in my house is a battle. Not the kind involving a direct confrontation, but one of time. You see, there are 5 bathrooms in my house, each having a shower. Since there are 11 people living in my house, every morning it seems like everyone wants to take a shower at the exact moment I decide to. Now in most dormitories this would not be a problem, but in this house, it most certainly is. There are 2 huge water heaters in our home, BUT, 4 of the showers, including mine, are attached to 1! The shower on the far side of the house, Rob and Brennon's, has its own. So after 2 people decide to take a shower, I'm usually out of hot water.
I've tried varying my schedule, or taking showers at different times of the day, but it never fails. It doesnt matter when I choose to do it. Almost like clock work, as soon as I grab my towel with the intention of heading over to my bathroom for a nice hot shower, I hear one of the other showers fire up. NO!!! dammit! It's like they are watching me, purposely trying to give me cold water. So frustrating!
One time while I was waiting for one of the upstairs showers to turn off, time just kept on rolling by. No wonder we dont have enough hot water to go around, some people are taking like 20min showers. Next time I hear one go past 10 min, I swear I'm gonna go right over to the utility closet and close the hot water exit value. hehe, that would be fun for who ever is in the shower >:-)
