Winter's Here... It's Official

I just got back from Miami on Monday and woke up this morning to find out that winter is officially here:


So far the house has been holding up to the cold pretty well. The downstairs finished area is significantly colder than the upstairs (due to heat rising and all), but other than that there don't seem to be any cold spots in the house or drafts etc. This is a pretty huge difference from my last place where the windows seemed to make vague attempts at keeping the cold out.

One issue that has arisen though, is that my hot water temperature when in the shower has been fluctuating. I want to do some experiments to see whether or not it's just the shower that exhibits this, or all hot water lines. After I do that I'm going to call the people who I bought the instantaneous hot water heater from to see if they have any thoughts on the issue.

I'll be getting my kitten on Saturday, so there will definitely be more to come soon...

man, i would be so annoyed at the instantaneous water heater people if it turns out that's just a bit of a con.

Hmmm, do you mean "a con" as in "a negative" or "a con" as in "something a con artist would do"?

I'm fairly sure it's not either, but I'm still curious what you're thinking, hehe.

It only seems to happen sometimes too from what I've noticed. I've also done some tests with other faucets and even the bottom faucet of that shower and have not been able to have it happen anywhere else. I'm thinking maybe it's just a particular set of circumstances that make it occur like the specific amount of water that can flow through that specific shower head. I still should call and find out though.
