I'll live with the wavy edges. maybe it can be sprayed from underneath when he gets under there. I'll ask him. in the meantime, I have that high powered blower still blowing under the house through the vents. I let it stay for about two days and then move it to the next one. ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-63831789240838527912017-09-17T14:18:31.878-05:002017-09-17T14:18:31.878-05:00I'm really a little worried that you only used...I'm really a little worried that you only used vinegar to get rid of the smell. You need to use something -- bleach and water, or a product like Concrobium -- to thoroughly disinfect everything and prevent mold growth. <i>Everything</i> that can hide mold needs to be treated. Just ask some questions and make sure that what you've done won't allow more problems to arise in the future. I understand that you may have done things you didn't write about -- no criticism here, just concern.<br /><br /> <a href="https://www.fema.gov/news-release/2012/09/07/tips-prevent-post-flooding-mold-home-clean-it-dry-it-or-discard-it" rel="nofollow">This article</a> has to do with Louisiana flooding, but it's FEMA info, and a flood is a flood. After Allison, we sprayed everything down with a bleach solution -- it was a pain, but it worked.shoreacreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284698314697628805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-33626066316618908582017-09-17T09:48:48.383-05:002017-09-17T09:48:48.383-05:00Do appreciate your taking the time to let us know ...Do appreciate your taking the time to let us know what is going on with you. It is certainly no wonder you are tired. This has been a long road, and you are still a long way from done. You are going to be one happy person when you make it through. We will celebrate with you.

My dad & his wife have been vaccuuming & cleaning the bathroom but I need to deep clean the kitchen & dust ALL THE THINGS. That will have to wait until I'm not restricted in how far I can bend (October 1!). But I keep reminding myself that I don't have to practically rebuild my house!
