Progress

We made some significant progress today...much more than I anticipated! We almost filled a 30 yard dumpster with drywall, cabinets, appliances, fixtures, etc. Lisa spent 3 hours or so mowing the knee-length lawn. Kelli & Pete (and a couple of Kelli's college friends) put the hurt on the drywall. I was director of optimism, vision, and clean-up. (Basically, I followed everyone around and cleaned up the messes they made.)
Today's Good News: The plumbing is repaired, the fireplace works, we didn't find mold in places we thought we would, and a lot of the drywall & insulation is salvageable.
Today's Bad News: Some of the insulation is not salvageable, none of the cabinetry is salvageable (particle board really soaks up the moisture...ayayay!), furnace functionality is still up in the air, and we found mold in place we were hoping to not find it.

But...I would say that after today, we generally feel encouraged. With all the workers in and out today, we logged over 40 (wo)man hours, and we accomplished a ton. We may meet our unofficial "deadline" (Pete's birthday) yet!
