I didn't have countertops for 3 weeks, my only sink was in the bathroom, and my only shower was in the other bathroom... and I used roofing paper as a shower curtain for a few days before my door came in. 

The apartments needed new floors, painting, some new plumbing, counter tops, doors, trim etc. 1st apt was rented back from previous owner after closing for 2 months @ 710 which was negotiated with price of property.
