Quoted from 1

That really sucks. I was driving home from Sparky's and was on  the 13 north when it all hit. Crazy mess and people all driving with their 4 ways on. Isn't that a big no no?

Under the circumstances, I would say that is exactly what you should do. The hazard light warns other drivers you aren't driving at high way speed.

Really sorry to read about your situation, Sylvain.

I would assume that  someone with 4 ways on is supposed to be stopped. If you think about it it's actually more dangerous. First off you can no longer signal you intent to change lanes. And then on some older cars the brake lights won't work with the 4 ways on.

water damaged leveler, big drop on the value of your machines

After what you got, I won't complain about my no-sun vacation...

Esp�rons que �a sera pas trop long avec les assurances, un de mes amis attends encore pour les r�parations de la grosse temp�te d'avant.
Bonne chance.

Quoted from Azatotht

This is perfect to conclude my worst vacations EVER !

A shitty week in Picton with thunderstorms and the like with a pissed off wife and now THAT !!

  really sorry to hear this happened.  we have been close to having the same at our shop.  

   but, did you still go to the drive-in in picton?  paul loves it when you make it out in the rain.

mess... haven't been online all weekend, and I saw the newspaper at lunch today with all the problems in Anjou... first thing I said to my wife was that I hope everything was OK with you guys...

Let me know if you need a hand in the fixing... I can do a few late evenings if you need a hand.

I can take AFM from u for a deep discount now that it's been in a flood

Hopefully you got to it in time. I would get those machines out of there and into a dry environment as quickly as possible. You should also get something to use as a dessicant inside the machines. If nothing else is handy, rice will absorb some of the moisture.

Its not that humid anymore, i have 2 deshumidifiers running since saturday night, i removed all i could from the carpet with a shopvac saturday night and sunday morning.

Problem right now is the odour... i got all the wet stuff out in the garage and the carpet is almost completely dry now, the 2 deshumifiers are making heat as well so it helped a lot.

Nto sure whats next, talking with insurances and trying to set this up. Wife is at home but i had to come back to work...

The rug smell like mess... i have to take it out but waiting for them to send the responsible team (wife is waiting for the phone call, they were supposed to call back an hour ago.).

Well, the stink from the water is probably in the walls. Sheetrock probably will come down. But don't be discouraged by this... sheetrock is easy.

As for what is next, usually an insurance company will send over a cleaning company (like Qualinet...) to clean up what is there now, and then they will probably send a contractor to fix the damage. Problem is that it might take a bit of time since there are probably A LOT of claims happening right now.

If you can, ask the insurance company if they can send a cleaning crew ASAP, and then ask them if YOU can remove any old moldy sheetrock, AFTER having taken tons of pictures of course.

...And get those pinball machines in your garage ASAP if it is still damp in there.

This being said, just say the word, and I am there with tools in the van, and I am sure that many others are willing to come over to help.

And Sylvain, I know I may live a bit far from you, but my house is open to you if you need it. I have a spare bedroom and a few beds and room for the kids, not a problem. It would be my pleasure to help out if you need a place to crash for a while. Let me know!

Thanks a lot guys for all the kind offers, i will consider them for sure once i'm fixed on what will happen.

The cleaning crew is scheduled for 4pm today and i should know more after that... Ian, i will confirm with them, that and the rug will have to go !

Someone, buy my STTNG please, and come take it out with a friend.. that will save one at least... oh and bring a mask, or else you will know what sewer smell is
