Super VXer
We weren't in the VX so you probably wouldn't have noticed the GF's Champagne colored Nissan Altima. Very low key, nondescript car.
We did have hot water, but it took it a long time to get to the sink in the bathroom, and the shower was actually backwards; had to swing the handle to the cold side to get hot and the hot side to get cold. Gotta love The Stoop!!
Would have been great to catch up with you. Sorry we missed each other.

I have been told the typical reason for water fixtures being setup backwards is that "Caliente" is "Hot" in Spanish so cheap Mexican labor almost always hooks up in the manner that "C" means hot.

He was of Hispanic origin, and I'll bet that's exactly what happened. But, I always thought it was really weird, since the dude was like 58 yrs old, I figured he'd have figured it out by the time he did my job....
