Floods locally
My late Wednesday update ..
The good , the water heater was able to be fixed ! .. he took the cover off and cleaned the connections it all checked out fine, just took 1st hot shower in 6 days
The bad , well the furnace / air handler looks to be junk, he was messing with it and a giant spark blew out with a loud BANG ..
They are sourcing replacement, hot in the house :(
The good ,more or less the basement is clear of all items
The bad , going to take me several hours tomorrow to scoop, shovel , mop ,scrape ,sweep everything left up and then .. dump a few gallons of Clorox and disinfectant all over and mop it all up .
the good, I'm still here and ready to be cool in here again
