Yay! Water! Ow!
After three weeks of dribbling on the cement one of the hot water systems finally developed a full blown leak. The real estate agent had been told about it many times by Frank, who is still trying to get a working lawn mower out of them. The guys upstairs also had a lot to say about it because we thought the Gordian plumbing linked the suspect cistern to their flat. But when the water was shut off we discovered that it was in fact my hot water system. So now, after two days of choosing between brown water with metal flakes or cold water, I have a new and big hot water system. Before I do the dishes I think I'll have a shower...
