Meanwhile, if you're trying to think of things to do with the water from your faucet that you don't use because it's not hot yet...
Put a bucket under the faucet. Then use that water to wash your car. Or water your flowerbeds. Or bathe your dog. You can funnel it into some plastic bottles that might've held 2 litres of soda or gallons of spring water. Keep one in your freezer, and another in whatever closet you keep your bathroom supplies. If there's an emergency with power outage or the need to shut off your water, the frozen water in the freezer will help keep everything else in the freezer cold, and you can use the water from the other bottles to fill the tank in your toilet.

I cut my irrigation watering in half by replacing popups with drippers/sprinklers years ago that actually watered plants and not the rocks and street. I don’t have grass.
