The water can come out cold for five minutes or it can go up to scalding in a second -- no telling. Plus, once you're in the shower the slightest touch can take you from scalding to icy cold or vicy versy.<br />Finally, my biggest complaint with motels when I'm on the road is that nine out of ten times the floor is scuzzy. The worst. <br />Well, that's my shower commentary. And fer chrise sakes what's with the paper thin towels?!ricpichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01321511130788764861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7268985416439660021.post-66977900079441311202010-02-14T12:48:50.000-08:002010-02-14T12:48:50.000-08:00Jason, some shower valves have a dual control.

One control regulates the volume of water and the other control adjusts the water temperature. <br /><br />They are inexpensive, require no special plumbing, and can be installed in any shower.<br /><br />Trooper, with some effort, women can be taught to leave the toilet seat up when they finish.Michael Hazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14139261384414481528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7268985416439660021.post-46106247668866750822010-02-13T04:52:25.141-08:002010-02-13T04:52:25.141-08:00I've never heard of a thermostat being needed ...I've never heard of a thermostat being needed to be adjusted to set the shower temperature.

I never face it to the wall because I am always afaid of leaks and I haven't the time to grout the tiles again. Anyway when I finish I turn it sideways again as I shut off the water. The wife who always gets up after me, heats up the water through the bottom faucet without turning on the vavle that makes it a shower. She always gets the water just right and then turns the valve, getting a snoot full of water as it goes all over the floor. If that happens once it happened twenty times. <br /><br />Of course it is my fault that I didn't change it back not that she didn't check it. <br /><br />It's like leaving the toilet seat up.<br /><br />One of the many perils of the married life.Trooper Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01978703998566102194noreply@blogger.com
