still working for shower

The good news is that it's not difficult to fix.

The bad news is, my hot water heater is electric with a yearly operating cost of approximately $410 and it's in the attic above my neighbor's unit (who doesn't live there yet). And for some brilliant reason, the contractor (yeah, the same one who put in the deadbolts upside-down and the face plates misaligned, which Ahmed fixed) didn't run power to the water heater. There's power to my A/C unit, right next to it, but no - not even the indication of a thought of - power to the water heater.

They also had the valve closed, which the plumber had the skill and training to turn counterclockwise so now at least I have water pressure. It's a cold, cold shower, but it's a shower.
