My place is humming like three washing machines, all on spin cycle at the same time. All thanks to three super strong fans with extensions that sit under the wet carpet and blow great blasts of air under the carpet causing a remarkable billowing affect...not to mention blowing any dust that was in the carpet at the time of the soaking into the air. Not the best environment right now, but at least it'll be dry and habitable again....in four days! Meanwhile, we have no place to sit, except for the computer chair and the bed, we're reduced to watching the tiny televisions because the 46" one is lying face down on our leather couch because it was in a wet spot. You'll notice the updated picture of the kitchen - no access to most of the cupboards, the stove, table, or microwave. Guess who's not cooking this weekend.
All of this would be really depressing except for the fact that tomorrow afternoon I'm off to a weekend crop, just coming home to sleep before heading out again on Saturday and Sunday...by which time the fans will be gone and the furniture moved back into position....hopefully. Lloyd is escaping the carnage by heading down to Phoenix with our nephew to take possession of the house, installing light fixtures, checking on the pool construction, etc., and won't be back till Thursday. So the end is in sight and we'll be constructive in the meantime. But, man, this roar is tiring. Luckily the bedroom is safe and the door can be closed.

ohhh I feel for you Pat ... this does not look like a happy house right now. Hopefully it dries out quickly and you can get back to normal life real soon.
I know how you feel. We had fans everywhere after our roof leaked before and the roar was deafening. Good thing you'll both be away most of the wkend. Hope it dries quickly!
sucks
I'm glad you got to get a way for for the majority of this and forget about it and have fun! I hope you were able to get a lot done for NSD too! Good TImes! xoxo
Love ya,

Oh I hate those things..we had some water leak into our apt a few years back and had to have those silly fans blowing too. Hope you're all dried out.
