Oh damn. Sorry to hear about that. I’m not sure I would have the fortitude to rebuild anything that extensively. I hope you come out OK and get back on the water next winter.

A short time later the Admiral, Lexie the cat crew and I were sitting on the bed watching stuff float through our bedroom in 18 inches of water. A few days later after loading two roll off dumpsters full of saturated carpet and pad, drywall, insulation, furniture, appliances and a lot of memories, we had a mostly empty house with some patio furniture and a bed. A few weeks, two large commercial dehumidifiers, lots of fans, portable heaters and a good moisture meter and we had a dry house. We've installed new drywall, textured it, painted it and replaced all the door trims, baseboards, etc. that were removed during the drying process. Waiting on flooring now. Bottom line, if you think refurbishing/rebuilding a boat is work, try restoring a flooded house while you're still living in it. I haven't seen Touche' in weeks. -- Dennis C.
