Got the crawl space cleaned out of all the insulation and hopefully I saved my floor from warping.
More pics when my bones start to heal up. This was the hardest job I ever did in my lifetime so far.

Damn Mum, that does NOT look like it was fun. What a mess...
Fishing is much more than fish. It is the great occasion when we may return to the fine simplicity of our forefathers.

Yes, he's getting things done at his house etc. He got his power back, dealing with the insurance companies and clean up.

God Almighty...what devastation. However, I am glad to know the Mum compound is fighting as strong as its owner. My thoughts and prayers are with your sister and with Skipper.
