bailing. We now have 2 shop vacs and the carpet shampooer in use. The rain has subsided and we may be able to stop this insanity. If we can stay ahead of the ground water level until it lowers we can win this battle. Joyce and Naomi, Brian's wife, and her daughter, spelled me while Brian and Pat drove to Williston (70 miles) to buy another shop vac so we could release the rug shampooer for wet areas in the carpet that are developing. This is going to be a long night for Pat and me.
Pat is resting and I am eating a bowl of Pat's very good Vegetable Soup on duty in the basement. Boy! this soup is really good, a rich beef broth with cabbage, potatoes, onions and carrots. She does a good soup!
My hearing is really bad with the shop vacs running. So I have a visual timer on my iTouch running to remind me to empty the vacs every 8 minutes. One vac is 5 gallons and the new one is 6 gallons. Pat has decided to go to bed (1740) and I'll wake her when I can no longer function, probably 2030 or 2100.
