Thanks Joan. Glad to hear you are getting better, too.
I now know after meeting my own doc today that I have not only a flu but acute bronchitis, my blood values from last week also show some high infection levels (don't know how to put it in correct English?). Still 38°C (100.4°F) fever but feeling somewhat better. It seems this week goes pretty much in bed, which for a lazy man like me is not too bad.

Glad you're on the mend, with all of your great help and tuts here, lazy doesn't come to mind when I think of Kari.
Of course it would do it at that time.
Most houses here in the desert have the water pipes run through the ceilings and so gather heat from the attic. when its 100F + outside you can quite imagine the temps in the attic. We are supposed to be conserving water but cheap assed contractors are to cheap and lazy to lay Pex pipe in the slabs to cut heat down. from the 60's to the mid 2000's copper and anodized were the pipes of choice but the alkalinity of the soil destroys most to fail in less that 8 years.
Pex is the only alternative here but it cost more. Here's the rub though.
You need less footage of pipe to run underground and come up to a sink, toilet or tub.
Takes more pipe to run down the wall to same applications.
fewer feet means lower cost. (it actually equals out to close to the same)
Pex requires plumbers to be trained and tools to be bought. A pex crimper for 3/4" runs about $75.00 USD
Laziness is the biggest culprit. I am/was a journeyman plumber as well as a general contractor turned PC tech because the housing industry here turned to crap in 05'.
If I get to build my own place again I will definitely put the pipes in the floor. Running the watter for 15 minutes just to get tepid water is not conserving water.
