So thaaaat's why the shower has been so cold...

Chalk it up to being in the land of opposites kids...The showers are backwards too.

When we first moved in to our place, the showers needed to be adjusted. So, Mark talked to the building guy and was informed that there was a limiter installed on the water heater to prevent kids from burning themselves in the shower. Thankfully, the first couple of showers that I took were moderately warm. However, they have been frigid recently.

Yesterday, I got an e-mail back form the Building Management company that said to give it a few minutes longer than normal to work through the pipes. So, I gave it 10 minutes to warm up and there was no change in water temperature. Meanwhile, Mark had been talking about how his shower had gotten much better, so I told him to look at mine. Yeah...turns out I had been taking showers on full blast COLD for the past two weeks because I thought you had to line the red dot up with the bottom of the handle assembly.

Needless to say, the warm water only did a small part to wash away the shame...
