The back room has been demo'd--drywall off, (no insulation had been in the walls) new insulation installed. Junction boxes to contain splices. The back wall is still open to facilitate drying. And the inside door opens and closes with much less resistance. The flooring (luan or lauan--I just looked it up) is also drying out. It was really wet out into the middle of the room. Good thing they took the vinyl up.
I went out for a few groceries, shoveled the little bit of snow off the driveway. And even though the temperature was only in the teens, the sun melted the leftover stuff.
Tomorrow is laundry.
Thank you for reading. Hugs.

Busy busy afternoon. We called over to the other unit for reinforcements. 2 came over and helped the two of us. And came back over, and another couple came over to resolve another problem. I tell you, I have the best co-workers ever!!!
Since I wasn't able to have supper, I heated it (again) before I clocked out. Whew! I hope everything got done...!!!
Didn't sleep much last night, or the night before, either. Hoping to catch up tonight.
Stay warm.

Worked today. Great team work, good patients.
At home, I went out to the back room. The drywall is removed from the back wall so the studs are showing. They also removed part of the ceiling. Not as much as I would have, but as long as it's going to dry up and not flood again.... Some of the insulation is gone, and what's left looks to be dry. A lot of the wood looks like it has been wet, and some still is. The back door opens much better already. I wonder how wet the insulation was...
The vinyl floor has been removed and is upside down on the basement floor. The sub floor has large water stains on it. And it has "bubbled" in a few places. It should probably be replaced. We'll see if it happens.
Tomorrow is another work day, with another drill. Not one of ours, but a hospital wide safety drill.
Stay warm.

What a day!
Crystal, the property manager, and 2 of the maintenance crew (and not the guy why had been here before) came over to check out the back room. They were all 3 impressed; Crystal was surprised that the water is still dripping at the top of the back door, and that the door was so difficult to open. Heck, I was happy to get it open at all!! I had also moved my car out of the garage so she could see the ice in there.
She told me that the garage roof was scheduled to be done in the spring. And the crew is going to start tomorrow in the back room.
Frank stopped over to help me move the corner curio and the bookshelf that I use as a pantry down to the basement; I moved the coat rack into the living room. Yup, It works, sure looks odd.
Not sure how long this project is going to be. We talked about leaving it open to dry out, and they are taking the vinyl off the floor, too, to check the sub floor, which is now bowing and feeling like a trampoline under foot. I'm happy it's getting repaired.
The project at the hospital turned into something that we can't fix. We did what we could, got a list of resource people, notified the "higher ups", and labeled the items as a "work in progress". Geesh.
The Drill that we did, though, was awesome. And the Staff was Spectacular!! When we started this 2 years ago we had chaos. Tonight we had organized response and the whole thing was over within 10 minutes. Yay!!

A pretty good day today.
The morning meeting led to a discovery of outdated paperwork that needs to be taken care of ASAP; so another person and I are going to do that tomorrow afternoon, before a surprise "drill" for the staff tomorrow night. Hopefully, this project will be just a few hours...
A couple errands on the way home, and a quiet night.
Teen temps tonight and not getting warm anytime soon.
Well, maybe for snowbirds....
