jpgrOK, follow up on the flooded master bedroom.
They came and dried the carpet and cleaned it as well as wiped down all the furniture. In the past few days we've noticed wet spots along the baseboard as well as some mildew. A maintenance guy stopped by today to assess how much drywall he'd need to fix it. The plan is to remove the damaged drywall and wet insulation, let the area inside dry and then install new insulation and hang drywall. The guy said he used to hang drywall for 20 years so he can have it done quickly.
The good thing is we don't have to move Dad for all the dust and what-not because of health issues. Dean (yeah, not gonna forget that name) is aware of Dad's problems and will be as quick as he can. At least we have a pull-out couch!
ETA: Dean is starting now. We've moved all the Furniture except for the bed frame and bureau. I'll keep you updated
