Your eyes are not deceiving you, the rug is floating. It protected the coffee table because while the legs got wet, the rest of the table stayed dry. The high water mark was between 18 and 24 inches, although that's not what you see in these pictures. We have or rather we
had very tall baseboards, about a foot tall, and the water was way over the top of the baseboards. These pictures were all taken after the water had started receding.
Kent took this and the following picture while it was still somewhat light outside. The water got to the top of the bottom stair, which is an abnormally tall stair (the rest of the stairs are normal, it's just the last step that's a doozy).
This is looking in from our back door.
You can see how much dry wall has been removed. It's this way throughout the entire apartment, and of course the flooring is gone, also any insulation plus all the baseboards.

Did you have to walk around in all that water? What did you do with all of the furniture while everything's being repaired? I wish there was something we could do to help!!!
That is just absolutely amazing....in a very bad way. Looks like the drying out/repair is moving right along though.
Is it very far to have to come back to Boston from Providence for Kent to work and you to supervise the goings on in your condo?
Jen, most of the furniture can't be saved. We've asked that the four older solid wood pieces be restored but the rest of it is a loss. Kent did wade in the water on Wednesday (the day the two pictures of water pouring in were taken) but after that, no. The water removal people were in the apartment by about 6 PM that night. They were fantastic.
Kalea, it's an hour by train and of course the train leaves at set times. So yes, this will be a huge hassle, although not as bad as living in a hotel.
