thanks, all.

It seems like all will be well. The workmen entered my place today and punched a holke in the bathroom wall for their plumbing work. It is patched. I think that means they are now DONE working in my unit until I leave (if the landlord was being straight with me today).

He left me a note saying the water will be turned off again tomorrow morning at 8:30 am, and thanked me for my cooperation...

We'll see what happens.

Thanks, Murray for the reassurance about the dust. I am more worried about the cats than me...I know better than to walk in it and lick my feet afterwards...
