As mentioned, my life lately has been a Cavalcade of Plumbers. I also went several days without running water in my home and as of now, it still hasn't been restored in some rooms.
Here is something I already knew but if you don't, you should. It's about how toilets work and how they can be flushed when you have no running water. You still need some source of that liquid like an outside hose or, in my case, a swimming pool from which one can fetch buckets of H2O.
If the toilet is the kind with a water tank like the one in this video, you can also pour the water into that tank and refill if you do it to the proper level. Oh — and like the man says, it doesn't only work with Froot Loops. You could probably flush Frosted Flakes or Captain Crunch or even Chex Party Mix…
