The nightmare begins to unfold as you walk into your office on Monday morning. A blustery cold front has blown through late Sunday night bringing freezing temperatures and strong winds. You are not worried about it since your building is climate controlled. As you turn on the tap to fill the coffee carafe, there is no water. You try the water fountain in the hallway. Still there is no running water. Over the weekend, a piece of scaffolding used to wash the building’s windows broke free smashing an office window two floors above you allowing water pipes in the building to freeze. The bottom line, no running water, no fire suppression, no occupying the building for a couple of days until everything is repaired. This is a true story that put businesses housed in a 23 story building in Dallas out of business for two days in the mid 1980’s.
