the oil company didn't fuck up. the float glass in my oil tank is busted. in a month or so, when i've used enough oil so that there's no chance of it spilling over when i open the tank, i'll disassemble the float glass and fix it.

depends on how often i shower. :-)

the hot water is also oil-heated.

I think you're fine.

We use like 30-40 gallons a month in the summer for hot water. (Also oil-fired.) And that's for seven people.

We use more in the winter, of course, 'cause the water's so much colder coming into the house.

yeah, i figure a month should be enough so that i can take the glass off and poke at the float and see if it's caught on something without getting oil everywhere when i open it up.
