so davie and I kinda lucked out ... when we pulled up we saw my brother's car in the driveway ... once we got inside it turns out he came over tonight and helped my dad put shelving up in the storage room ... [David and I expected to spend tomorrow doing this] ... and they had moved all my parents stuff on to the shelves ... so David and I made the smart choice and started condensing our stuff ... getting rid of wet boxes and wet items ... and moving our stuff from one storage room to the other and putting it up on shelves ... we figured we get it done tonight and make my dad totally happy and not have to worry about doing it when we wake up ... some people are coming over to look at the pipes and the damage and the room looks 100% better ... we took out 9 huge bags of trash ... the biggest loss was a box of clothes ... I could have dried them out and washed them but they stank so bad I knew I would always smell that smell no matter what I did ... but we did do good ... my dad will be so happy ...
