The neighbors apartment had had a catastrophic failing of the drainage system. They had to tear down my bathroom walls to deal with the rot.

No shower or toilet, intermittently, over that time. A taped, black plastic cover separated the apartments. I was granted the use of an apartment in the process of remodeling for toilet and shower purposes.

Some days, all water was cut off.

Now, I have a new tub, and wall. The insect population was sprayed today. I have a toilet again. I can cook again.

My boss was not amused, as i had to take at least two days off to deal with things. I'm trying to negotiate rent credit. I may be forced to withhold rent, until I get it.

Taking a shower felt wonderful, tonight.

Great news. Know that feeling of being deprived basic essentials after one of our lovely earthquakes. Thing is no one had water for a while. It was wonderful when I could finally have a shower. Never again will I take the essentials for granted. Disasters are such an essential learning curve.

Have gone without power for 150+ hours.  I'm no stranger to cascade failures.
