…basically if you were here you would have the sight of me in shorts and boots carrying buckets of water from the cellar to outside, while the wife (who has called out today) fills the buckets in the cellar and brings them up to me.
The oldest has put out a blast e-mail/facebook for extra hand, so hopefully we will have a full crew of teens/friends and over the next 36 hours have the cellar cleared of both water and stuff that will grow mold (everyone in the house but me has allergies).
The base plan is to get the water out today and get the furnace back up and running, while tomorrow we will clean out the trash and everything else that has to go. We will of course get what we can get done today. I’m hoping for a lot of the kids friends for that as we will certainly provide pizza etc.
That is the plan for now, I’ll see what blogging I can get in between.
I’m not proud so i’ll take any able body willing to help get this done.
