Fun with sprinklers

Now that things have calmed down to a dull roar (literally), let's talk about what happened last Sunday, and the aftermath. This will be very long, but it's been A Week.

Early Sunday Morning

( Whooshing noises are not what you want to hear )

Sunday

( Triaging the Basement )

The Rest of the Week

( Lots of service folks )

The Pipes

( Out builders screwed up again )

The Bees

( Loud. No, louder than that. )

Lots More to Come

So that's more or less the state of things. ServPro come back tomorrow to do a mold assessment. Hopefully they've managed to shut down the problem, but odds are that at the least we're going to need to replace a bunch of insulation in our unit, and quite possibly replace the flooring in the kitchen. (Which has warped noticeably.)

The hallway is now more visibly a wreck. They've cut away the bottom few feet of the drywall, and have four more Bees blowing at the walls to dehumidify the interior. If we're lucky, we'll only have to replace the hallway-side walls, not our interior kitchen walls. (Which would require taking down several wall-mounted cabinets.)

Overall: yay for competent contractors -- I'll particularly compliment the ServPro team as friendly, available, and attentive to detail. But I suspect it's going to be months before we have everything repaired and fully buttoned up...
