Next steps

They came and picked up all the fans today except 2, still aimed at walls that are marginally damp. The subfloor in the main room in the basement is being tested to determine what material it is made of before they tear it out - they need to know if an asbestos mitigation company needs to tear it out. The guy didn't think it contained asbestos, but he wanted to make sure. He thought it was Build-right, some kind of external material you put on your house before putting up the Tyvek and siding. Nice.

So we're waiting for them to pick up the other two fans and remove the sub-floor. After that, the contracting company will determine what can be repaired and what needs to be replaced and the work will begin.

Currently, I am starting to fill out forms for claiming the losses. Blech.

Hopefully you are also drawing up plans for your new closet... I am really hoping you get a new one out of this whole deal

Good luck. What a lot of hassle to deal with, but hey, the contractors will very likely do a better job/use more standard materials than you had from the previous owners! *fingers crossed anyway*
