Nah, It was like a couple days before July 4th holidays. Called my plumber. He told me he was out of town and it would be something like 5 days before he could get to it. Handed the neighbor a couple of $20's to run and connect his hose. Cool baths and water to heat and wash the dishes. No big hassle.PimpDaddy wrote: ↑Wed Apr 17, 2019 2:30 pmYour neighbor charged you?

Least to worst. Old school/ probably cable-satellite is the least- easily able the get through that. Next I consider a tie between gas/ water. Depends on where you live and how much you depend on it. Without gas, you can always warm up the water and take a sponge bath. I went 5 days without water a few years ago (busted toilet pipe) and paid my neighbor to run a very long hose from his house. It was July, so took cool baths, heated water to wash dishes, etc. The Granddaddy of course is loss of electricity. New school/ same exact order except insert loss of WiFi/ Internet service somewhere in that list. Saturday morning, had a massive T-storm roar through with quarter size hail. Knocked my internet out for 3 days. No fun. If I had to play one more solitaire game on my computer, I was going to tear my hair out. Discuss.
