you did not say where you are in the country --- I have a triangle shower in 
the corner of my house, glass block is about 4' high on two sides of the 
shower - about 16' lineal feet -- facing SOUTH, in Virginia and is always 
cold in the mornings, great between 10am and 4pm, but I generally am not 
showering then <g>  Linda Lloyd
