As some of you may know, our annual ice dams created a problem for the first time since we've owned this house. Water got into our walls and for nine days the stairs to both the basement and the second floor (a finished attic) were blocked by plastic curtains and machines (humidifiers, fans, and desiccants) the size of a trash bin. There were two machines at the top and bottom of each stairway. Our refigerator was blocked. And it was as loud as flying in a prop plane, 24 hours a day, for nine days.
In the end, the professional wall dryers (i.e. Water Mitigation Specialist, as our friends at ServPro would call themselves) ended up doing something I could have done: punched big holes in our walls to dry them out. So our life this last week has been a little chaotic. Yesterday ServPro deemed our walls dry and we now have to get bids to repair our walls.
Needless to say, this weekend we have been using to slowly get our life back to normal. Here is where we are at:
Me (sitting down on the couch next to Emily): What am I sitting on?
Emily: Random stuff. Oooh a clipboard.
