bath time

decides2dream

new tankless gas hot water heater being installed as i type. our former HWH has been dying a slow death - i knew b/c it could not adequately fill our deep tub. i am anxiously awaiting it's completion - have burt's bees bubble bath, candles, ipod and A to Z pinot noir awaiting a deep and long soak this evening.

bliss.

you do not know of which you speak.
for cleanliness, yes, showers. for luxurious relaxation, baths.
and yes, i take a quick shower after my baths to rid myself of bubbles but there is NOTHING like a bubble bath. sooooo wonderfully relaxing. bubbles, candles, music, wine.

tankless water heater = endless hot showers (and i guess baths)

i don't have a hot tub, though they are pretty awesome. i merely have an extra deep soaking tub. and i LOVE it. ended up taking a bath last night after all. mr. dream merely cranked up the old water heater to max temp, and it worked! can't wait tho for the new water heater to be operable.

baths rock.
shared baths, even more fun ... but solo baths completely wonderful too. relaxxxxation to the max.


norm - exactly!
tho the only reason we realized (or i realized) we needed a new HWH was b/c of my baths) we've never had any problems with hot water for anything else.

:thumbup: on the tankless!

remember one of the ideas in going tankless is to set the temperature of the water to the hottest you want it ... so, when you hop in the shower in the future - you just turn it to hot all the way ... no wasting energy heating water you are going to cool down ...

SEE?!?!?!?!!? I was right!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE a nice hot bath!
My new house has a deep soaking tub, I can stand in the tub, and the edge comes up to my knees, subway tile all the way up to the celing...though I am thoroughly grossed out by the fact that it is a fiberglass tub...it just 'feels' wrong. An iron tub holds the heat in better...I wish the house came with a clawfoot tub. :(

Also, I do take a 'rinse off' shower after my bath, I understand why people think baths are gross.
(I may or may not take a super long hot shower after getting out of a hot tub)

I used to love hot baths, maybe even too much for my skin's good :oops: But these times are over, American bathtubs don't do the trick for me, they are too small :x I'd be in for a sauna too, but no can do... Sigh.

I take a bath about once a week or so. I stay in that damn thing for about an hour, putting more hot water in as I go. I take my little iPod dock in there and set it on the toilet and pick some relaxing music. There is nothing more peaceful than taking a bath. Sometimes I don't even turn the light on in the bathroom. It's kinda like my happy place haha.

Without the light on?1 That sounds interesting :think: Even though our bath tub is too small, I do thake baths every now and then, especially in the cold season. I have to try that with the light out and music in my ears!

Oh yeah, it's great. Sometimes instead of my iPod dock I'll just take the iPod and my good headphones, set the iPod up on the window sill outside the tub so the cord isn't in the water.
