 Sp> Had the carpet guy in yesterday.  About 5hrs later we have new carpet. 
 Sp> Its a lot nicer than the ratty old stuff was.  Despite the amount of
 Sp> water, there was not a lot of damage to items really.  Plywood chest of

 Sp> furniture in that room was pine.. once it was out and got a chance to

that's good Spec, yes plywood loves to soak up water sadly. Having new carpet down will make things feel much better.

 Sp> Worst part is having everything jammed into mostly the living room, and
 Sp> next door..

I have times like that and it doesn't take a flood to get there :)

 Sp> Sounds like you're having similar weather to us, the whole week is just
 Sp> more of the same, rain, hail and cold.  Ours has been pretty much like
 Sp> this for weeks odd warm days and then the cold fronts settle in again.

it's been nutty, across all of the country, strong winds, heavy rain, a burst of sunshine then rinse and repeat. We're all sick of it.

 Sp> The very first house I bought, had a monstrous Liquid Amber growing on
 Sp> the front yard, towered over the roof considerably. It always felt like
 Sp> every time it rained you'd have to climb up there and clear it.  Even
 Sp> gutter guard didn't help a lot, The leaves and pods would kind of mulch
 Sp> their way through it.

I climbed out on to the roof to clear the gutters, the next day they were jammed up again with more leaves... I'm getting my acrobatics badge next week.

 Sp> Mving day is coming... its getting a little concerning though waiting
 Sp> for a health care card for my mother for a substantial discount off
 Sp> stamp duty.. its been a bit of an enveigled process.  Need it to arrive
 Sp> before settlement.

hope that goes well and that things turn up soon.
