LtS...I am seriously considering a series of area rugs once things are dried out. The floor is already tiled and in decent shape. It would take a LOT of work and money to do carpets, and I hate the idea of dealing with this again in 10 years.

The morning papers are full of stories of folks who had it much worse than we did.(along with the usual batch of idiots who drove INTO deep water and had to be rescued)
