Flooded, lessons learned

[pickenup]

Good info, thanks for the writeup.

If I may, I want to add that ammo cans are worth using.
I had full ammo cans sitting on the floor, and ammo that was in cardboard boxes sitting on a shelf above them. Both got completely submersed. After the flood, I sat the ammo cans on the stairs to dry. (I was afraid to open them) When they were finally dry on the outside, I scraped the mud off and opened them, and inside EVERY CAN was dry as a bone. (small things you can be thankful for) Not so with the ammo in cardboard boxes of course. Don't know if that ammo will ever work or not, haven't had time to test it. Still trying to get the muck out, and dry out the house.

Now that we finally got natural gas back, anyone have a "radiant" natural gas heater......cheap? LOL just kidding.

We upgraded our natural gas range and have the old one sitting in the garage. If your range was damaged and you need something in a pinch, I'd love to get it out of my garage for a good cause. It has a microwave sized oven about the cooktop though; making it taller and more heavy. Anyone who might need it is welcome to it though.

Nice write up. On a side note did you find a contractor for your furnace install?
