argh, what a royal pain in the rear... sorry to hear of this Spec... I think moving from that location will be a good move. I hope that repairs and the drying out of your stuff happens quickly and smoothly for you.

My only water tale is climbing on the the roof of my parents house in the last 24 hours to clear out clogged gutters... it's been raining here for what seems like forever and the forecast is for more of the same for .. well.. forever ;)
