After the Rain......the Smell

In case you're wondering.....standing water in July...smells really bad. So after the rain...the mess. Once the city had cordoned off the roof section of our building we were allowed back in to start gathering anything we could salvage...unfortunately all our computer CPU's were housed on the floor and we lost all files in lateral file cabinets - plus the server room had also sustained damage. Armed with brooms and mops and wet vacs we got most of the water out..but where would we go?

Being the resourceful people we are....our nice big relatively unharmed warehouse seemed to provide the answer...but with only 2 evaporative coolers and a staff of almost 60 - we could never survive in 105 plus degree temps for the 6-8 weeks needed to make our building habitable again...or could we...enter THE TUBES...with massive generators going 10 hours a day the tubes brought us the air conditioning we needed to survive and so with mad skills that would make McGuyver proud we built an office home in a warehouse.
