A small luxury." I don't consider that a vice at all! Especially if you have long or thick hair - it's purt-near a necessity! “My only water “vise” is I still want good water pressure in my shower.

No, I don't have an electric water heater. It's propane. I am not used to gas anything so not sure what can be done there. I know the temp is set on the low side. We don't use much hot water. Except for showers. We have a well so the water is "free". We use electric to run the pump. I know there's a problem there and is on the long to-do list of things to replace. We are planning several things for catching rain water for later use in the garden. Even with a well, I conserve my use. My only water "vise" is I still want good water pressure in my shower. A small luxury. Thanks for the comment. No, I don’t have an electric water heater. It’s propane. I am not used to gas anything so not sure what can be done there.

Congrats on the super savings! Do you have an electric water heater? Is the temp properly set? If it's "too" hot, you're wasting $$ there. Is there some sort of insulation that's available to wrap your water heater to slow heat loss (and the cost of re-heating)? This leads me to ask another nosey question: Do you have to pay for your water? Are you conserving water? Woot! Congrats on the super savings!
