With 2 children, I often have laundry to do at events and baths to prepare. We do most of our re-enacting in the summer time, so I set out the copper tub full of water in the sun and let the sun warm it. By evening bath time, it's nice and warm for the kiddos to splash away in. <br /><br />I Kateri Scotthttp://www.hillsidecottage.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1260159263783917143.post-89807670174120973572009-11-17T07:40:20.213-05:002009-11-17T07:40:20.213-05:00I thought we were very modern when we bought and m...I thought we were very modern when we bought and moved into our house that had just such a coal burning water heater!
