The update

[baronessekat]

All the major water puddles are gone. Most of the rug has reached just damp level, if not slightly damp or dry.

I have two box fans, a desk fan and the ceiling fan going on the rug.

The girls came over and the general consensus is that we can get away without having to rip up the carpet right now. In fact, it actually kinda looks better than it did. I guess that having over 40 gallons of water run over it helps.

I'm going to let the fans run all night and hopefully it will be fine tomorrow.

Grimm is not thrilled with all the stuff that got piled up on "his" futon or the breezes by the fans, but he's got full run of the house because of the gates being down so I could put the contents of the family room into the living and dining rooms.

while not normal, life is returning there.

Glad that its getting better, honey, and that you don't have to replace the carpet immediately.
