I wish you much hot water. When we were halfway through the renovations and living in the house for the two months without hot water it was so HELL and we are in the frigging tropics. Living in a house during renovations is just torture because - I am so sorry and I hope it ends soon.
We did bucket showers with the kettle - fill up a big ass bucket with cold water and pour in about 2-3 kettle's worth of boiling water and you get reasonably tepid water that is pleasant to cup-pour over yourself.
Can you get a night or two to stay at relatives or friends or even an airbnb to be somewhere with working plumbing and finished floors and QUIET for just a moment? I would go to the nearby mall and just sit there and pretend that I was going home to a finished house. That everything was unpacked and the walls were not scaffolding and there were not live wires I had to keep a small child away from.
I hope the bunnies and the cats are blissfully ignoring everything.
