I do the same - but the water does get really hot.

Friends gave a deposit of $10k to a builder last winter - still awaiting construction. Oh and they have to pull the permits themselves. I asked my wife if they have plans to pull that permit with and the answer was no. They will never get this built. This is what happens hen people do not...

Central MD here - opened on Saturday. It was very cold taking out the return plugs!
