The Clean Up Begins

Here is Glenn tearing up the floor in the kitchen. This one was a hard one to see. It seemed to dry out well, but the baseboards were still very wet and separating from the walls. Once Glenn started to pull up the floor, it was all wet underneath. The water barrier held the water down to the floor and the linoleum under was all wet and had to be pulled up. This one is going to be a big job and will take a while to get all cleaned up. We will have to take our time doing the repairs on this. Some of the cabinets will need fixing as well.

The mess of the living room. All this stuff needs to find a new place or be moved around. Water got in here as well, it damaged the baseboards but the tile did just fine and dried out in no time. I hope to make this back into a living space, at least in the next few days.

The dried out playroom, minus toys and most all of the furniture. The bookcase shown will go up stairs into the spare bedroom and then the work desk will be put back into the study. This room will get tiled first, we plan to pick tile out tomorrow and get is going asap.

This is what our study looks like now. All the floor and wall are dry, just missing the baseboards and carpet. It is much cleaner now that all the work and project junk is out of it. We will probably leave this room without flooring for a while. It will be the last place to get done. A low priority on the list of to do's.

As soon as the rain stopped on Sat. around 4;37PM Glenn cut into the playroom carpet and we began the drying out process. With the help of our neighbor Scott and Young Family (thanks Tom, Lynn & Jeremy) we were able to clean out the study that night as well.
