It is Monday, one week later... the clean up is never ending.. each day after the flood we were either taking things out to the drive way to the damaged pile or storing the things in the garage
that did not get wet. We cleaned a section of the basement at a time, we divided it by four sections. We bleached, used pine sol and some other disinfectants, and the power washer. J tried to kill Zesa and I with the bleach, he used too much and we had to leave the basement. Each section was cleaned three times. We also cleaned off the out sides of all the 18 gal containers.
Now we are waiting for it to dry real good, before we repaint the walls and the floor. The insurance man came over last Friday and gave me a check right on the spot after looking at all the personal things we lost. J & I went to the hardware on Sunday and bought 3 dehumidifiers, 2 sump pumps and 6 hoses, just in case we have a bad rain again, we will be ready. We are going to have some come in and put a battery back up on our regular sump pump. After painting the floor and walls J and Zesa are going to build shelves for my 18 gal container that have Holiday in them. We piled every thing out for the garbage man tonight. He be so mad when he sees everything. Now I need to go through the holiday and re-pack the items I can keep and get rid of everything else.....
