So, we've move to Maryland. My do-hickey that loads my picks to my laptop is in a storage place somewhere in the US. Soooo, I guess I'll have to TYPE!!! So a few weeks ago the movers arrived for a day 1 scheduled "packing". It went well. No one seemed to care that a tropical storm was rolling in. Neither did we. Pack they did. North American is extremly professional and kind. Not only did they turn stuffed animal packing into animal basketball with the kids, they went beyond all expectations. As Fay drizzled her way in, unassumingly sly and incognito, the windows upstairs began to drip from the 1 and 1/2 year old trim. (builder liability is under investigation) The movers readily volunteered to get out on the roof, 40-60 mph winds, using ladders, nail guns (powered by electricity), and shear gonads, the 2nd story was tarped and metal, HEAVY>>>I LIFTED THEM UP>>> hurricane shutters were put in place, and the water stopped!Thanks guys!!!!
Next day...all that is left unpacked is beds, bedding and our suitcases for the trip. Oh the maze of cardboard boxes may annoy us, but the girls viewed it as a new adventure. Little did we know what was coming...The rain was insane. It fell down, left, right , even in occassional bizarre swirls...everchanging. Then at 7 am or so I awoke hubby 'cause the water was rising. Minute by minute the water inched toward our 2 expansive 98" wide sliders. Past experience told me we needed sand bags and we needed them fast.
More 2 follow...good night.
