                            Oh, that water heater

The wot hotter heater has been fixed [1], amid curses from the plumber. He
installed a new unit (top of the line—hey, we weren't paying for it)
yesterday (“I'll give you hot water if I have to stay here and heat it myself
with a match!”) but had to return today to reroute an ill placed piped so it
would pass inspection if it ever came to that. He said that the original
installation, bad as it was, was probably done that way to save a measly $20
or so during building.

$20.

Spring [2] and Wlofie [3] both said that the original savings of $20 then is
now costing the Rental Office big bucks. But I cynically replied that the
original company is no longer the owner [4]. In fact, the company that built
this play may not have been the company we rented these units from, so who
knows who palmed that $20 (possibly per unit, and there are several hundred
units).

So things are pretty much back to status quo here at the Facility in the
Middle of Nowhere.

And I hope it stays that way.
