CLEAN-UP PROCESS!!!!!

We are halfway done with the clean up. Our photographer, Zachary, took several pictures for us. Most were blurry, he refuses to hold still. Anyway, most of the water was in Betsey's room. We are sucking the water out, then we will clean the carpets and let them dry. If they smell, we will have to replace the carpet. We are hoping it is just water and it will dry fine. Pray that it will! Here is Betsey's room after the water was removed. We have yet to clean it.

The laundry room is dry. Everything was moved into the garage. Every inch of the floor was scrubbed. Tim & I decided that nothing goes back into the utility room without washing, sorting, throwing out what we don't need, etc. Then it will be put back neatly.

Remember the t.v. show "The Beverly Hillibilies?" Don't we look like them? Do you see anything you might want - we can rescue it quickly. Garbage pick up isn't until tomorrow and we think they will be way behind because everyone is throwing out lots of furniture and carpet.

We wanted to declutter anyway - so I guess this is a blessing in disguise. One man already took our toaster oven (don't tell him it doesn't work). So much more sorting to do. The kids are sitting in the driveway shredding papers into the school's shredder. They have done so much that the machine overheated. So, they are allowed a 30 minute break.

We will update later with the finished product. But, that might take a few days.
