My Hatred of Our Water Heater



Our water heater only heats up enough hot water for 1 and 1/2 quick showers. And since neither Aaron nor I typically take quick showers, one or the other of us is left with a cold shower if we both shower in the morning when we get up (which we typically do). Since I am not even close to a morning person, and have an extremely hard time getting my rear out of bed one second earlier than necessary, the person getting the cold shower is usually me. Well, this morning I had had enough. I was in desperate need of hot, or at least warm. I decided to boil water and put it in the bath tub. I did all the pots we owned twice. It only got the tub about 1/4 of the way full. I filled it half way full using the cold tap water for the rest. I had a slightly warmer than luke warm bath :( Blah. I hate our water heater.

Oh man that's sad. Sometimes our water heater doesn't get the water hot at all. Before either of us get in the shower we check if it's going to be hot or not. If it doesn't get warm, we opt for another time to shower. We've thought about boiling water ourselves. Why can't apartments have sufficient water heaters?
