What do you MEAN the water will be off between 8-16 until the project is finished???
About the time that we figured out how long it took to do laundry this sign appeared on the door to our building…Although I do not speak French…I could kind of tell from the illustration that it had something to do with water…I met my neighbor coming out to walk his dog and confirmed my suspicions. What that entailed for us was only doing laundry in the evening. It also meant filling a bucket with water for toilet flushing and planning to be out all day…OH and showers had to be taken before 8 in the morning (no sleeping in for Abi!). We also filled bottles for drinking water. but mostly we tried to be out. They redid the pipes in the cave (cellar) and took out all the cool water fountains in the hallways from the days before running water in each apartment. Then they used the place where the old pipes were to hide all the electical wires that were running in pipes along the outside of the walls. It took about six weeks. Everytime we thought we were home free and decided not to keep a bucket in the bathroom because the water had been on all day…the water would be off… We were glad that they finished the project before our Christmas company came!
This is what was hanging in the hallway outside our door when we moved in. It was the source of water before running water to each apartment in the building. More convenient than hauling the water up five flights of stairs, I would say...
