Clean-Up Has Begun

We finally had our insurance adjuster out earlier this week to see all the damage.  Now it's time for the clean-up.  Yesterday, a crew came out and took down all that nasty, old wet ceiling tile and soggy insulation up underneath it. 



First, they hung plastic all around it to contain all the dust.


I peeked inside the plastic from the bottom of the stair to try to capture the demolition in progress, but the dust was flying everywhere so the picture is not very clear !


Another one in progress, a little less dusty  
 
Final product before covering it up with plastic -- dust still in the air


  Here's how it looks now.




They did a great job of cleaning it up.  Once the roof gets repaired, we can put the ceiling back together and lay down new carpeting.

looks good, seems like you can live with that for a while. Is the carpet still all messed up? Are the humidifiers gone?

The carpet is dry but badly stained. Insurance will replace it. The humidifier is now down in the kitchen/family room area. We're working to dry out a ceiling beam there. Getting tired of the noise of it and the fans.
