Hanover Germany, only cold showers going forward cause of lack of Russian gas | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 83645551 07/29/2022 09:10 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I did this for years... We could not afford the gas on the regular... So here's how I dealt with it... Maybe it will help... Cause cold showers/baths in the winder suck!!!!!!! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 83645551 I bought a water heating "wand" for chicken buckets... In the winter the farmers put these thinks in the water troughs for the animals water to keep warm... I had hot baths all winter long it was awesome. We lived like this for about 3 years. Even simpler, boil a pot of water on the electric stove and rig up a camp shower in your bathroom. Hot water on demand. Tards gonna tard. Nah... I did this method before the other... SO I know my way is easier for ME... Maybe it's not easier for others... but for me... boiling was pointless the water was cold again before even getting in... Now others may live in a warmer climate in which case they would not need the chicken wand... I just filled the tub with ice cold water drop the wand in... go do other chores and in about 49 minutes the water would have steam rising and fog the whole bathroom. No watching boiling water... no changing buckets... no fear of dropping boiling water on legs while carrying bucket to bathroom... no getting in tub to find out the water had lost temp again... It was good for me... The wand wasn't expensive ether... |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80482003 Step 2 boil water (any method) Step 3 add boiling water to cold bath tub water. Step 4 enjoy warm bath Thank me later krauts That's how I did it before my livestock water heater... Took too long to boil and add... the water was cold again before the next bucket could even boil. Our house was not really insulated though... so that's prob why it was cold before you could even get another pot of water hot... Glad life is improving a bit... even if just a tiny bit... everything helps... lol Well you don't need a whole tub, ffs. You just need a hot shower. Use a fucking camp shower. If your using more than 2 gallons of water you're doing it wrong. I could get by on less than half that. ......fkn bathtub full...holy shit.facepalms for everybody. |

Sorry - not - sorry I WANT extra water... I know I don't need it. I use bath because showers waste water... if you lose time. I lose time... So... I'm not gonna go into a shower and forget how long I'm there. Although... it would be hard to lose time if the water were cold... lol I WANT water... so There ya go... I don't WANT a two gallon bath... I want a tub 1/2 full. I save water in every other area of my life so... I don't feel guilty for my bath wants... I live in desert area and grew up with well water in my home. I know how to conserve water in other areas in order to use it in way I want in my washing routine. I know how to take a PTA "bath" if I have too... but why would I do it unless it were needed? |

Fair enough...but it sounds like your method isn't working out because your using so much water that you have to boil several pots and because it takes so long, you ended up with still not hot water... This sounds more like someone who insists on having their creature comforts instead of deciding not to waste water and minimalize. Good luck to you. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79940446 It will be more shocking to start having cold showers when its actually cold. Once your used to such things its fine, not nice, but fine. Swedes do it for kicks. My mother does it for kicks. Since she was 50 |
