There's a reason for my my slow, almost non existant posting: my landlord is now renovating my bathroom, because the rotten plumbing was pouring water on the awful old lady downstairs, who by chance is his aunt... I live in a rented flat that's 60 years old and this was meant to happen, sooner or later... problem is that now I can only use the kitchen sink for washing and watering (thank God, I'm a man...) and my byproduct of this morning ended in a frozen food plastic satchet, inside a MacDonald bag... and now my laptop is in my bedroom, and I'm on-line thanks to a 5 bars, D-Link open Wi-Fi of a dumbass neighbour, who's somewhat related to my landlord as well. Because my DSL modem is in the entrance, and I cannot use it now since my desk is nylon covered and the entrance is dirty and full of the workers' material. This shit should only last for some other three or four days... you just hope it never happens to you! (not my pic, buy more or less, I'm these conditions...)

Lath and plaster - always a mess. I guess a hotel wasn't practical?

Could be worse, could be the bathroom in a place you own and you could be the one doing the work/footing the bill.
I had a leaking sink, what was supposed to be a simple replacement ended up looking like this 3 hours later. I had to finish the job before I had any place to wash off the grime from the remodeling work.

I thought 'bout that, but I have a nice bathroom in the office and I'm not willing to leave my home totally abandoned...

If you're using a shovel to fix a leak you're doing it wrong.

That indeed is my consolation, even if I'm almost sure that I'll pay for it on my rent, sooner or later.

Is that the water heater in the bathtub??

That's not my bathroom, as I've said. But actually my water heater has now disappeared, and I have no idea of where it is. I hope they're treating it well, because it's a good water heater indeed.

Trust me, it depends on the leak. (Says person with over a mile of underground irrigation to maintain.)
