It was not re purchased when the site was updated as it didn't have enough traffic to warrant the subscription. in other words @Ruggerxi broke it

Happy Birthday to you both.

Happy Birthday!

Usually you would cut two feet of the drywall from the floor that was wet I would cut a pretty large hole in your ceiling say 4x8 a whole sheet of drywall and then runs dehumidifier If your floor is tile I would only dry from underneath but if you have some sort of laminate or wood floors you should remove the flooring because water likes to hide in between subfloor and will create mold.. carpet can be pulled back until no visible signs of water running a dehumidifier is pretty much the only way you should trust drying process you will also want to to run fans and usually turn your heat up real high…

Sweet Duc broke it

@RobMc will bring some wine

The Quizzes that were possible to play or make... I liked them to get some points to lose over the dealer at the BlackJack tables.

What’s the difference between a pregnant blonde and a light bulb? You can unscrew a light bulb. Of course you can substitute ‘blonde’ with anything. The question is, who would you replace blondes with. Any thoughts?

What more can I say about our beloved COD5 Admins. They are beautiful people inside and out.

Thank you for the work you do for our younger generation

Don't know if you own or rent, but I would have it professionally remediated. If you have insurance, let them pay for it!

Wouldnt hurt if you have a portable dehumidifier to run it in the garage . That will help take out the moisture in the wood. They use bigger industrial ones in my area when there is a water problem in a house.

Till the wood behind th ewalls has a moisture reading between 8 and 12 get the moisture meter. How long it takes is unimportant. It thakes til it reads those numbers. Loks of ait moving around the wet areas helps a ton.

Cut some openings in the dry wall to get some air circulation through the cavities to help dry it out. The longer it takes to dry out the greater chance of mold growth within the wall. Once dry cut the drywall back to where any damage to it stops and replace the damaged sections Where in CA are you located at. Depending on area molds can easily grow making it a bigger problem, this is mostly closer to the coastal areas. I live in the SF Bay Area and use to over see 10,000 units of apartments from Monterey CA to Seattle Washington. Mold and water damage was always a problem.

8Drywall expands when it gets wet. So it loses its integrity. Which means it will fall apart on its own if you do not remove it. Seeing as it is in your garage its the barrier between fumes from your garage into your kids room. Mold is created when something does not dry out quick enough. So by removing all the wet drywall you have a better chance to dry out what is behind it. Also spray what is behind the drywall with a diluted water bleach mix. Most insulation once wet collapses on its self and no longer does its job it goes too. Sorry. Use fans to help move the air around the spots that got wet. Pick yourself up a moisture meter. Wood Moisture Meter, Digital Handhold 2 Test Probe Pins LCD Wood Moisture Moisture Tester, Damp Detector Tester for Firewood Tree Paper/Walls Paper/Floor Carpet, Not Include Batteries (Black) https://a.co/d/daaAP0D When the structure has a moisture reDing between say 8 and 12. You can reclose the walls and ceilings. I have to say no parking in the garage till the opening is sealed air tight. Good luck. It's not an expensive fix just a pain to do.

I've personally never had a water issue like that, I know many that have, but in my opinion, most likely sounds like you'll need to replace the drywall that got soaked from the water. Drywall don't dry very well so you run the risk of mold if you don't remove it and get those areas dry. If you have insulation in the ceiling or walls like pink fiberglass, that's like cotton candy and won't hold up to water. Contractors that deal with this sort of thing usually use big blower fans to dry areas out and could tell you best what should be done so for the health of your family, I wouldn't take shortcuts here and make sure it's done the proper way.

Good interview there, Alex (interview left out name, but FB!). Man, you're the same age as my oldest of two sons! Been a pleasure playing you through all those TDM weekends (pain in the ass, unless you're on my team) and thanks for what you do for our COD2 servers.

Now that I have read that, I didn't learn anything new, except that you can't really grow a beard. Cya in game.

Just remember it’s a twelve step program. Not a twelve piece with sauce

And not one mention of his Chicken Nugget addiction. And let’s not talk about Loader as a mentor. Explains a few things. Lol. need to see you on line more in COD2.

Okay, so I have an issue. My 6-year-old who was supposed to be in bed. put the stopper in the sink and was playing in water. For whatever reason left the water on and flooded the bathroom, part of the hallway and part of his room. I was flooded enough to start leaking in the garage below his room. Roughly about half a gallon to a gallon was on the basement floor. Once we noticed the issue we immediately turned off and vacuumed up the water and everything we found that was wet. Now my question is, do I need to cut open the ceiling and walls and have them professionally dried out? - Can I leave it and let it dry? - Can I cut open the celling and let it dry out then redo the drywall?
