Thanks to all of you for your concern and positive thoughts during the recent water intrusion into our condo. Good news is that, as of Wednesday, all the machines were removed, cleaners came in to do a deep cleaning (you couldn’t believe the thin film of white grit that covered everything!), and we returned to sleeping in our own bed in our bedroom vs. the living-room floor. 

Next step is for a hardwood-floor expert to assess the damage and cure. We are hoping that caulking the large, dark cracks that have formed between the planks will suffice, as opposed to resanding and resurfacing, which is a lot more involved process. 

After that, the baseboards can be restored, touch-up paint applied, and we are (almost) to back where we were on the evening of July 4.
