Basement flooded; can't do laundry (washing machine in flood area); no hot water (water heater in flood area). Sump pump apparently nonfunctional. Some papers, books, etc. probably ruined. not happy.

Waah.

You can come here for showers and laundry if you want.

Suck! I massively hope that the rest of your Mothers' Day (and first mother-of-two day!) went better than that. Here's also hoping that less is ruined than you fear.

many books can be saved. dehumidifiers help. opening them up so the pages are less likely to stick together as they dry helps.

just found this:

their advice is to quick throw them into the freezer, deal with it later when you have time and energy.

(this seems like a good reason to buy a chest freezer...)

*hug*

and then there's always amazon...

Suck!

I second the freezer advice, and if you have clothes that get moldy, you will bow down to the glory of OxyClean, I swear. Perp's christening gown got *covered* in mold, mildew, and g-d only knows what else, and now it's spotless. Spotless!
