On Tuesday, the water in our entire apartment building was turned off all day so a new hot water system could be installed. All seemed to have gone well since then. Any time I have turned on a hot tap hot water has come out. But today an email was sent to everyone telling us to turn on all of our hot water taps for 30 minutes to help get the air out of the lines. So, being a conscientious tenant, I turned on all five faucets in my apartment, two in each bathroom and one in the kitchen, and let them run for a half hour while I ate supper. Then I went around and turned everything off. You would be amazed at how hot and steamy a bathroom can become in 30 minutes. I was. I went to my bathroom last and it was just as hot and steamy as the guest bathroom. It also held another surprise. I had forgotten, when I turned on the faucets full blast (as Instructed) how slowly my bathroom sink drains. Surprise! When I opened the door. the sink was doing a Niagara Falls imitation. So I baled water out of the sink, sopped up all the water on the floor, tossed the floating box of Kleenex, dried everything else on the counter, and finally got things back in order. It was an unexpected mess but on the upside, I have company coming on Sunday and my bathroom counter and floor are shiny clean now.
