so i guess there was a pipe issue here many years ago and because of that the building had to ditch all their in wall plumbing and most all of it is on the walls themselves. This is true of our bathrooms and all the water from the city line is on the outside of the building as well which causes the water to be rather warm hot!

many weeks ago i turned off the hot water heater in my bathroom to make sure that it wasn't hot water from the heater that was causing the problem. well as i said i knew that during the day the cold water runs hot but just discovered that because the "hot" water that should be coming from the hot water heater is just sitting in the heater and has cooled down. it is a wonderful shower temperature... cuz it's all about cool showers when its so hot and humid out there.

so it's like opposite day back in elementary day... hot is cold and cold is hot.
