When we put our house in Iowa back together we bought a shower apparatus that set the temperature, allowing us to shut it off and back on without having to readjust the water temperature. We wanted this because after 10 years of "Navy Showers" it grates on us to waste water.
In case you don't know...
A Navy shower is a method of showering that allows for significant conservation of water and energy by turning off the flow of water in the middle portion ...
So we are having a new shower done in the park model and Butch wanted the same kind we have in Jefferson so we started looking. We bought the one in Iowa in 2014 at Lowes. It is a Delta. We had no luck at Lowes in McAllen. None in Home Depot either. So it was suggested we try Rio Grande Plumbing Supply in McAllen. So we popped in there this morning and they had one on hand and the price was reasonable. Now I know that sounds simple on the surface but the reason they had one was because someone from Mexico ordered it months ago and hadn't come yet to pick it up and he was fairly certain he could get one ordered for them before they would. And then when we paid for it we were pleasantly surprised to find it cost $46 less than we expected. It was just one of those days! Heart and Head in right place = a day full of things to be grateful for once again.
Another weird thing was that Butch put the box containing the shower hardware in the back seat and when we arrived home the car flashed "Check the back seat". Now we assume it is a safety feature but weird nonetheless, I wonder if it would do it if it was ice cream we were putting in the back seat. For us that could be very important.
