It’s been over three months since my home and layout building flooded<\/a>.\u00a0 Both have since been dried out and are waiting for reconstruction.\u00a0 The building inspector must certify the structures before the walls can be closed in.\u00a0 However the inspection department is grossly overloaded, and the inspector is nowhere in sight!\u00a0 It’s been several weeks since I received my building permit, but I’m dead in the water until the official shows up.<\/p>\n

I thought I’d post a few photos showing the “cleaned up” train room and shop.\u00a0 Fortunately, the layout itself has received no significant damage, as only the legs and bracing got wet.\u00a0 It has all been sprayed with a mold killing chemical to insure there won’t be a future problem there.<\/p>\n

Here’s the first view of the layout room.\u00a0 As you can see, the carpet, and the bottom 30″ of gypsum board and wall insulation have been removed and disposed of.\u00a0 Things are dried out pretty well now.\u00a0 I still have to pack away all of the stuff on top of the layout.\u00a0 In the minutes before the flood (yes, that’s all the time I had) I piled everything I could on top in an effort to (hopefully) minimize damage.\"Layout<\/a><\/p>\n

This is a view from the diagonal corner of the room.\u00a0 Note the flood water silt still covering the black chair base.\u00a0 Many things from the house have since migrated to this resting place in order to clear the house for remediation, and will have to be packed up and put into storage before reconstruction commences in this building.\"Layout<\/a><\/p>\n

The upper half of the shop is relatively unscathed.\u00a0 However, all of the base cabinets (and much of the contents) were ruined and have been thrown out.\u00a0 For the time being, I no longer have a workbench (though I wouldn’t be using it now anyhow).
\n\"Layout<\/a><\/p>\n

I don’t plan to spend much effort out here until the house itself is complete and I’ve moved back in.\u00a0 But eventually this building will recover, and I’ll be back at layout construction once again.<\/p>\n
