Clean Up Continues

As I walk Sammers through the neighborhood, I see the clean-up progress continue. People have pulled their furniture out, some leaving it in the garage with fans to dry. There is carpet ripped out and put in the garbage, along with many other destroyed belongings. Many do not have flood insurance and so the replacement will be solely on their shoulders. And this sight can be seen everywhere. When I drive into town, I see the clean-up effort not only out of people's homes, but out of businesses as well. It makes me so sad to see all the damage and devastation that this storm brought. We now have our drinking water back, but I think I will continue to use the gallon water for a little bit longer. I can not say enough how grateful I am that our house was not damaged and that we were not hurt.

The same day of the storm, I noticed a stain on the ceiling in the kitchen. It lines up with our master bathroom, so I figured there must be a leak. The plumbers were out today, and couldn't find a source of the leak. They sealed the drain in the shower and reset the toilet, just in case, and to rule out those as possibilities. They say the water may have come in a vent on the outside of the house. So now we just keep our fingers crossed that the bathroom is fine. I am going to spray bleach water on the ceiling to try and clean that up and to also help watch for any leaks that might sprout again.
