Not too bad heating the water for the bath, in the summer it did not need to be too hot and in the winter the stove was roaring so the water heated up more quickly and don't forget that there was a pecking order for the bath with father first and the youngest last and hot water added as needed in-between.Arijahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03720793296992474762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791768581127769171.post-43785672902396049212014-07-01T04:07:51.340-07:002014-07-01T04:07:51.340-07:00So interesting! :) I enjoyed the visit.
