Our Place Getting Completely Replumbed

In May we were told that our entire building of approx. 100 units was going to get 100% replumbed and that it would take about a week and water shut offs through out the entire summer. Its a drag. We had to move everything out of the cupboards and out into the living room area and patio for the plumbers.We had everything moved into the living room and patio for 11days. I had to be out of the house with the kids everyday for 4 of the days from about 8:30-5:30 or later.  And the clean up has been a headache. The plumbers had to repipe the 10 year old building owned by Shea Homes because apparently the copper that was used in the units was already rusting and causing way too many emergency water leaks and floods. They plumbers started on the 4th floor. We are on the 3rd floor and one of the first tenants to have to go through this ordeal. They literally still have 700 more units to go. There are 8 buildings with 100 units in each. They just finished replumbing June 19th, one day before we left on vacation. Our place is just getting back to normal now, but there are still some linen closets that need to be organized and a few pieces of furniture to put back. It took me about 16 hours to clean up all the bathrooms, kitchen, bedrooms, living room, etc. There was still dry wall dust, dry wall putty and paint drips left on cabinets and walls. Plus, even with as much plastic as was draped there was still dust all over our things. At night our noses were stinging and throats sore from all the chemicals left in the air. The only room not entered was the kids room. Thank goodness!
