I wish you were my brother! One of those Water Bob things is on our list, for ourselves and for my MIL, who has well water. (A long power outage can play hell with a toilet that won’t flush :-)

Thank-you for such a kind thing to say! I hope you get your water bob and then you should put it in a bathroom cabinet, so it is at the ready. I’ve filled up pots and pans, when I knew the water would go out and it takes so much time to do that and you do not get very much. The water bob is so much more efficient.
I also recommend that you get water cisterns, and put them by the sinks. It is easier to wash your hands with a faucet like vessel.
Stay safe and comfy out there. I wish you plenty of flushes in an emergency and lot of soft TP.
