Things That Have Been Annoying Me, Part III

Heat and/or Lack Thereof (Shower Version):

The shower in my apartment is easily the most unpleasant shower I've ever had to use on a regular basis. The temperature of the water goes from scalding hot from one moment to incredibly cold the next. I'm not talking about a slight fluctuation. I'm talking about heat that can leave burns and cold that can make your heart skip a beat.

Some people have told me about a shower nozzle that I can buy to help regulate this but neither Youthlarge or I have been able to find one.

I hate Stingy Landlord.

On the magical shower head? I would go straight to Leopoldi's on 5th near 8th St. If that thing exists, they will know about it and they can order it for you. They also carry the radiator product I recommended in a comment to your ...Annoying me Part 1

it's not the shower head... there is a valve somewhere that in the plumbing that mixes hot and cold before it gets to your shower...it probably needs to be replaced.. and your landlord should do it.. due to the scalding water you are enduring... we have the same problem at my place.

our whole building has asked the landlord, and i think he is willing to do it...eventually... everything he does moves at a glacial pace.. and his handy man is totally inept..so anything that gets fixed needs to be fixed again, and again, and again...
