A tour of the Acedemia... I mean water pressure

Silly you may think, but when you are away from home, what do you miss most? You miss your bed and your shower.

So here it goes, my trip to Ewe-taah via water pressure. Shampoo bottles are on a 1 out of 4 scale.

Shower #1: The water pressure is good and even Nixon would like the temperature. The downfall to shower #1 is the hard water. There is nothing more annoying than attempting to wash off soap that does not wash off.

I give shower #1, 3 out of 4 shampoo bottles.

Shower #2: Shower #2 resides in a nice cosy house. It is the kind of house that you just hang around in green slippers - which I do. When the slippers come off, the shower is pretty good. Water pressure is good and they have a water softener, so that is pretty good as well. Nothing is perfect however, the hot and cold faucets are to tempremental that you can never really get the temperature just right. And if you do happen to get the temp right, I swear it changes as you stand there vulnerable.

Shower #2 gains 2 1/2 shampoo bottles.

Shower #3: This shower is in a beautiful historic house more than 80 years old. Although the house is stunning with hardwood floors and crown molding that would make Bob Villa proud, the water pressure is HORRIBLE. It is like being baptized - but not the good dunk you in the river baptism, more the father, son and holy ghost - drip a couple drops on your head kind of baptism. The temperature is pretty good, but you hardly get to enjoy the heat.

Shower #3 gains 1 1/2 shampoo bottles.

Shower #4: This bathroom was cleaned especially for my arrival - so that is a good sign right there. Apparently the bathroom hadn't been cleaned in quite some time, so I REALLY appreciate the clean towels. Shower #4 has good water pressure and temperature. There were even face cloths set out in bathroom number #4 to make the experience complete. THe only thing that would make the shower/bathroom experience perfect would have been slippers - maybe next time.

Shower #4 receives 3 1/2 shampoo bottles!
