It's still not perfect!

We have been in our house for one year now, and even though we consider it a huge upgrade from our previous accommodations, it is still not perfect!! We have had off and on trouble with hot water since we moved in. The owners honestly try very hard to keep everything up and running at high standards, but they have to hire local workmen to do the jobs and unfortunately they love tape!!

This is our solar panel for the hot water. We have it programmed so it will fill and heat electrically if it does not meet certain requirements. For the most part this works, but last Tuesday we had no hot water. The landlords called in the workmen and this is what they did...split some wires, taped up an electrical strip!!We now have hot water, but I'm not sure how long the tape will hold!!!
