The drying out process.

Baseboards and kickboards removed. Holes drilled. Plastic tubes inserted and connected to the blowers. All of the blowers turned on and we now live in a noise chamber that sounds like a jet engine and is about 90 degrees.
These little units pump air into the walls. The big worry is under the stairway which has no access so this location gets special treatment.
The octopus with the blower directly attached. The bathroom which was to source of the problem get its own air unit and lots of attention too.
The family room with Craig the master dryer inserting and connecting up all of the hoses.
Monster fan in the hallway moving air. Blower in the right background pumping air which eventually goes into the walls. The tall unit on the left behind the fan is a mega dehumidifier. So the deal is the blowers move air into the walls through the funky tubes. The air picks up the moisture and comes out the other holes that were drilled. The big fans move all of the air through the entire house and the dehumidifier sucks the water out.
