No Hot Water!!

[Marilyn. 340]

For some reason the last two days we have had no hot water ... we live in a converted garage so we share the hot water and electricity etc... with the house..... our landlady lives in the house..... so if we have no hot water they have no hot water

Hubby assumes there must be something wrong with the hot water heater but the landlady has not told us anything...... I can't go and ask her because she speaks limited English

Right now I am trying to work up the courage to go have a shower with cold water I already put off having a shower last night because I hate cold showers but I can't put it off today

I would boil up some water and maybe take a bath but our bathtub is not the greatest

OH well, I am just going to have to grin and bear it

You can be an honorary filipina. No matter how hot it is there that cold water will open your eyes!

anything...... I can't go and ask her because she speaks limited English

I would be knocking on her door and giving her a quick English lesson on "we don't have any f**king hot water."

umm, I would do that but our landlady is also my hubby's sister's mother-in-law , who let us move in without a credit check or deposit and pretty cheap rent (at least for the LA area )

Hey I've been there before. Had to get by for 4 days until I could fix the water heater. Just a little suggestion. I heated up two very large pots of water. Set them inside the shower. Use one to wash with and the other to rinse with. Oh and I used the shower massager to wash the hair with. Just don't let it run down your back.

Good luck

*just an aside but our landlady doesn't have hot water either if we don't have any

My fiance lost her hot water in her apartment... She lives in Russia and it was -40 degrees outside It can always be worse !

Isn't a hot water heater an oxymoron? Why would you need a heater for already hot water?

Sorry, I couldn't help myself!!!...

When I was in the Philippines we would heat up hot water and then mix that in a big bucket in the shower room. All you would do then is poor some water on you and soap up and then rinse off afterwards. Beats the hell out of the cold shower the maids took......bbbbbuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrr

Are you sure it's the tank? Could be something simple. A breaker switched off. An element burnt out ($10)

[Marilyn. 340]

we have no clue.... everything is on the landlady's side
