owlectomySuper : What's the problem with the hot water? No one else complained.
Me: It takes at least 5-10 minutes before it starts getting hot. And then when it does, it's not hot enough. It's only 95 degrees or so.
Super : They came out and they checked the boiler. It's on. So what's the problem?
Me: What I just said. It takes forever to warm up, and it only comes out at about 95 degrees. The law says it has to come out of the tap at 120.
Super : Maybe you just like having your skin scorched.
Me: No. I took the temperature with a thermometer. The water temperature doesn't get any hotter than about 95. It has to be 120. That is what the law says.
Super : Okay.
...Which is not to declare victory even temporarily, because I have seen temporary improvements before that didn't pan out, but I was finally able to wash the dishes without heating up a pot of water on the stove, so.
