7. HA! I can totally see that last thing being a big problem with my oldest.

So far, it hasn't been to big of an issue as she has started showering in the morning so has to get out or she'll be late for school. HOWEVER - it may become an issue this summer. So far, my first water bill was 'normal' - not too high compared with my regular bill. However, considering I have a front loading washer now, and 4L flush toilets, it was a bit disappointing. I'm assuming that the extra time the water needs to run to get the hot water to kick in is really wasteful. You'd think there was a way to have a hybrid system.
