Mother Nature sure is consistently throwing curveballs my way, if it’s not one thing, it’s another.
I can’t tell you how numerous times I’ve been stranded in nasty blizzards, driven through torrential downpours, or lost power because of some unexpected turn of events. I shouldn’t even be surprised anymore when Mother Nature put me through the wringer, however recently, but, I was completely taken aback when a giant thunderstorm blew through the area and dumped two feet of water on us within 24 hours! There was nowhere for the water to go, so it backed up and flooded nearly the entire city, however one of the locales that it found respite was my garage. I walked out one morning to find the entire garage flooded, dank, and humid. this was a major issue because I was storing a lot of pressing belongings in my garage. Immediately, I got out the dehumidifier and blocked it in. I spent the next numerous hours mopping water up off the floor. I had numerous large utility fans that I blocked in and started blowing air around to the garage. I hoped that this air movement would help to evaporate some of the extra water! My saving grace in this whole situation was the presence of air vents in my garage, and when the garage was built, the business wisely linked it to the central heating and cooling system. This meant I could pump cool, dry air conditioned air into the garage. By funneling out the tepid and humid air and channeling as much cool air into the garage as possible, I saved myself tons of time and currency dealing with my flood detrimentd items.
