Trash Day

Floyd , sounds like a lot of work you did. I used a dehumidifier and fans also plus a carpet cleaner that sucked up the water . I'm waiting for the insurance adjuster too as I 'm going to have the carpet ripped up and have tile installed.

We had some water again this year, (June29) but I was able to get most of the water out by the next day. With two dehumidifiers and fans was able to prevent mold from forming. Later opened walls and took out the wet insulation. Washed, rinsed and sanitized with bleach. Result no mold.
Still waiting for provincial disaster inspection people.
Great to hear your house is back to normal.

Warbler, There are lots of professional clean up crews around. Some people got a few feet of water.
I've sprayed Lysol on everything its suppose to kill mold.

Ginger, There was a woman on TV who had a signed card from Babe Ruth , its water ruined now. I'll go back to your puzzle.

Agnes , more rain today , not as bad I hope.

Claudia I'll send you some pictures.

Ellen Very nice of you , I didn't get it as bad as some.

Lots of mold around too, I'm sure. SO sad.

That is such a blow for people who lose all their stuff in a storm besides all the danger with it. Makes us grateful for what we do have Jim. Left a note on my puzzle(same one) for you in answer, and thanks again. :0)

It's a lot of damage, I hope that now you have better weather, to wither everything properly.... ☺

Jim, would love to see these items you restored: walnut veneer humidor cabinet & the little mahogany pie crust table. I've always wanted a "pie safe." I love the tin-work on them, a lot of them have it on the doors, some on tops.

I've been praying for people affected by the climate lately. Didn't realize it included you, my friend.

So am I BK, Lot of people I talk to are having tile installed , no more carpets around here.

So sorry for these people!
Glad your damage was minimal Jim.

Thanks Jana , Were all cleaned up now and back to normal.

What a shame. I'm happy for you that you do not have too much damage . Have a beautiful Sunday ☺☻ ♥

Claudia , we were lucky

Floyd that's terrible, I don't know about you , but I get paranoid every time we get a heavy rain. I keep thinking about getting a house with no basement that's on top of a hill, but with my luck it would probably slide down the hill in a heavy rain.

willey19live, I did see it and its a good idea , it would all be gone in a heart beat.

Neville , yes it is a good time for house cleaning . I have a friend whose hours were cut back to 30 hours a week on account of Obama care. She has to supplement her income by picking metal out of the trash and taking it to the scrap dealer. You should see the antiques and other great stuff she finds , some people don't know what they're throwing out. I have repaired some stuff she finds as I was a cabinet maker before I was an airplane mechanic. I think I'll try brain surgery next. Haha.

Janet , were back to normal now, very glad it wasn't sewage. Hugs back.

smllpkg, I was tempted to pick up that table , but I have enough stuff already, I'm almost a hoarder. During the big rain 11 years ago I did pick up a couple of Items, one is a walnut and walnut veneer humidor cabinet , in side the door its copper lined, it even had a metal container for tobacco. I should take a picture of it and post it. The other Item was a little mahogany pie crust table. Both were in excellent shape.

Claudia , that's the way I feel too.

lever2011, There have been a lot of pickers.

YIKES Gladstone! I'm sorry to hear about that, and glad for you Jim that it was just rain water.

Sad to see, reminds me of four years ago when we had two feet of sewage in our basement.

Hey jetmech7, see my other remark on trash day, just put a couple of dollars price on each item & they'll steal every bit of it. No extra trash charge. Problem solved.

What a sad sight Jim:((( I bet there are a few curb-crawlers eyeing some of this off!

That's a sad scene, Jim. I understand some people had sewerage overflows - that would be dreadful. I hope you are getting your basement all cleaned up now. hugs my friend, janet

I understand the upholstered furniture. You can never been sure about the mold and removing the stains. But I don't quite understand the wood furniture. It's pretty easy to clean up and touch up if it needs some refinishing.

That is sad, but I'm sure thankful it wasn't worse

I would like to go through your trash.
