What do you do if you gotta go right now?
Unless you live and work in a resort, rental and second home market like I do, this blog may not make sense to you. The rest of you will definitely "Get It."
Please don't (and don't allow your customers/clients to) use the facilities when showing vacant properties. Around here folks often turn off the water when the house or condo is not in use. I can't tell you how many times I've gone into one of those and noticed that a while back somebody used the toilet and then of course, couldn't flush.
If it's my listing, I then have to haul gallons of water to fill the tank. I know, turning the water on for this task would be easier, except often it's not a matter of turning a valve, it's a matter of calling the water company and since I'm not the owner, they won't even talk to me. So...I haul water. Then I fill the tank, flush and clean. Then more water and another flush.
If it's not my listing I'll do what I wish the last agent would have done. I call the listing agent and let her/him know what I discovered in their listing so they can go haul water.....
So if you just "gotta go" or your customer/client does, please, go find a public facility and come back. Even in an occupied home, it's not really appropriate to use the bathroom unless you asked first.
