No hot water? She never showers?

Spent a good long time in Germany at a US Army base and we usually didn't have hot water ~ but we showered anyway ~ in cold water.

You get used to it.

Metal pans! A tea kettle? Put kettle on stove, bring to a boil, pour hot water in pan. Add cold water to desired temperature. Take washcloth and a little soap. Wash up.

There was a time not so long ago when that was all we had. Then once every week or two, we had a large galvanized tub where we enlarged on the smaller metal pan/tea kettle method.

Yep. Times wuz hard.
