Yuck

This is what we did yesterday:


Our basement/crawlspace had water in it at some point, we are estimating about two inches at the low points. The water is mostly gone now, but it certainly left its mark. We had to junk a lot of stuff and are discovering a lot of mold. Most of the Christmas ornaments will be salvageable because they are glass, but lots of papers are beyond saving. I haven't found anything yet I am distraught over loosing, a few handmade lace ornaments are pretty moldy but it might be possible to get them clean or sucker Mom into making me replacements. It is a big job to get it all clean and re-packed in plastic totes, and we will be making a dump run today. Next up, better drainage for the basement!
