Today is day 5 and holding with no running water. The rations I was so eagerly expecting yesterday didn't come. I've been using our water bottles very carefully and trying not to dirty too many dishes, which isn't too hard since Scotty is out of town. We weren't quite prepared for this length of time and don't have a large receptacle to store water in to use for flusing toilets. The neighbors have put out a large tub downstairs to catch the rain water, but we only have one small jug to fill up and lug back upstairs. It's good for one flush. Scotty and I will be taking a short retreat tomorrow and are praying that the hotel we're staying in will have water.

We will be joining your prayers for the return of water for you and all those affected. We pray God will grant you a restful retreat with warm water and blessed time together. We love you! Mom and Dad K
On the one hand, I wish we were there to help with dealing with the water problem ... on the other hand, its a good thing you don't have guests adding to the need for water. We are praying that the water supply will be normalized very soon.
When you build, you may want to consider including a cistern where rain water can be caught (a standard feature on all homes in Bermuda).
