We have cold water!

Since Esben moved into the apartment at the beginning of May there has been no cold water coming into the kitchen or ensuite shower. But there has been cold water coming into the sink where the toilet is (toilet and shower are separate). In Denmark all cold water that comes into a building is from the mains - they don't have the system like in Ireland where, for example in a house, the cold water comes in from the mains and is then stored in the tank in the attic and this water is used in bathrooms. So we've been getting the cold water from the sink by the toilet (nice, I hear you say!). Usually if you can't get hot water it's quite a nuisance, and showers take 5 seconds :o) but I didn't realise until now how much I miss cold water when you don't have it. So after a little investigating by two handymen/plumbers, we have fixed the problem - it was the shower tap all along! Hurray, ice cold water from the kitchen sink once again. You certainly need lots of it when putting together Ikea furniture in 26 degree heat :o) The fun we get up to in the evenings ;o)
