In the meanwhile I am safe and dry with family, who dont seem to be tired of me yet!<br />My apartment is fine - only the garage was flooded and the building is quite dry now.The Old Foodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00766403052971301718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24170237.post-68530702442377383302011-01-20T13:08:50.549+10:002011-01-20T13:08:50.549+10:00I am so glad you are with family and that your hom...I am so glad you are with family and that your home is dry. This has to be such a trying time for all of you. I've posted the access information for help on my blog and hope everyone will do their part. Take care of yourself and do check for mold...SharleneThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12180247939829055069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24170237.post-89811700433972713152011-01-20T13:08:18.978+10:002011-01-20T13:08:18.978+10:00Hi Les, I am very lucky.

The garage was pretty well filled up but is dry now.I have been able to get into it since 24 hours after the flood peak. I go each day and open it up - it is very bright and breezy and it is hot and sunny here at present. I can't wait to move back in !!The Old Foodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00766403052971301718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24170237.post-85882635974008661972011-01-20T11:00:26.925+10:002011-01-20T11:00:26.925+10:00Have you checked your apartment yet?

The apartment will be very hot since there is no air conditioning making perfect mold growing conditions. Mold is a problem for people living in upper floor apartments if the lower floors or basement floods since water will wick up the sheetrock walls, wood frames and insulation into the next floor up depending on the type of material the building is made of. Remove any clothing or articles that could mold that are valuable to you until you are certain the electricity is back on.Lesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24170237.post-87624499265700708802011-01-20T10:43:56.286+10:002011-01-20T10:43:56.286+10:00I'm confused.

I'm guessing Indian meal is corn meal? <br /><br />Hope you get your electricity back soon. It took months before some people got their power back in Galveston. It took two years before some of my friends could move back into their houses since everything had to be gutted and rebuilt in the brick shell.Lesnoreply@blogger.com
