I'm worried that it's an old building and they might find nastier stuff if they try to renovate!

So glad you girls are safe and sound. That poor tree in Kat's first picture looks as if it's rolled up in a blanket. I've never seen sod lifting quite like it. And the stench! What horrible teaching conditions, Stef! Few things are more nauseating to smell. Hope you are free of mold allergies. Glad no prized stuff was in there.

All the storms are even a wee bit influential up here: days and days of rain, which is uncommon but nothing to what our neighbors to the south have had. Hope Ivan dies out, goes way out to sea--anything but what he threatens to do.
