My water is still coming out cold.

But I know a lot about gas showers, heaters, gasfitters and scammers. I have spent a lot of money just to be able to have a decent warm shower. I´m still waiting for it. Sometimes, when the days are colder, I wash "by pieces" Which I would not do even in the camping sites of my youth.

I don´t even know what the next step will be as I will not be able to get a decent man who knows the trade. They are all at home, either with the COVID or hiding from it. Tomorrow the man will come for the last time. I will have to pay more. JEEEZZZZ!!!! Just to see if there is a possibility of using an old heater while the lockdown is over. I´m mad. I am going to spend the money of the airfare to Aruba in a heater that will not work.

Do you live in apartments? I cannot help you much there if do. We live in a house and our water heater is so old the flame goes out so we have to manually light it. You probably already know stuff like that but its all I have.

@marguicha Huh. would buying a new one help? They are a bit expensive. We were looking at the new solar ones but crap is like damn do we really want to lose that money when government does not even care.

Same here, it is difficult to find a handyman who is honest to goodness with his job.

I think that I will have to heat water in the stove like old times.

You are stuck between a rock and a hard place. This virus is causing so many problems in your country.

Yes. I´ll have to go back to the old days, when people washed with a piece of cloth.

@gr8nana6 Exactly. I hope that this new handyman does things well. He´ll come on Monday because it is raining too hard.

@marguicha I bet you are, I would be too. Since the pandemic started it has been horrible trying to get people to fix things the right way if you even can get them to come. And you really have to watch them because they will charge an outrages price too, I think it is a shame.

This is so unfair, you've already paid enough to expect your shower will produce hot water! The man should have gotten this fixed, the very first time

I know. These people don´t know much. Tania called a good gasfitter and he explained it by phone but he is not going out.

@kobesbuddy I would think so. But now that gasfitters are not around, they do what they want.

@marguicha The ones that you already paid, they should be responsible to fix it for 'free!'
