This top photo is from September 2019. The bottom photo is from around September 2018. The basement (aka "The Man Cave") is forever a work in progress. The yellow arrows in the top photo point to repurposed once empty milk-jugs; 48-gallons of toilet-flushing-water are on those shelves (~400-lbs). A couple of decades ago this area of the badlands was brand-new construction and the public utilities were a work-in-progress for a good long time. We suffered through many interruptions of water and electrical service. Hell, the first year that I lived here the city refused to plow snow from the streets. Lessons learned. Police protection back then? Forgetaboutit! All that being said, I have not needed to use any of the emergency toilet water reserves for many years. It's there if the time comes.Did I keep emergency toilet water back when I was an apartment denizen? Nope. Efficiency apartments can limit a person's ability to store emergency supplies; I had other pressing issues to deal with back then. All any of us can do at any give time is the best that we can.

Hang in there.
Be as prepared as possible.
