My normally good attitude is fading fast! We are on Day 5 of no water here at the Manuel house. Our pipes froze on Saturday and now we are waiting for the BIG THAW. Up until now, its been a bit of a challenge...flushing toilets with 5-gallon buckets, washing dishes with water heated on the stove, cooking with bottled water, etc. But, without this crazy contraption that allows us to take hot showers, I probably would've lost it a long time ago...
Its not a pretty picture, but it works. I haven't missed a shower...and the water is warm. I totally take back all of eye-rolling that I did when the hubby purchased this *thing* for his hunting trips! Its worth every penny!
Tomorrow is another day, and if our pipes haven't thawed out, I'll start collecting quarters for the laundry.
