Aftermath of the flooded basement (not bike related)

The old dishwasher was over 20 years old. I can't hook it up because during that time they changed the inlet valves on them from 3/8" pipe thread to to 3/4" garden hose thread. And he didn't have an adapter in the truck so I'll have to get one tomorrow.

When Dad replaced the kitchen cabinets in their first house he kept some of the original steel ones for shop/basement use and 3 of them made it to this house. When I was dragging them out to the garage it occurred to me that you can never have too much storage in the garage so they'd be more useful there

The big news is that I've moved most of the filing cabinets to the container. It's starting to look pretty full

Finally.
You can't really see it but there's a bank of 60 small file drawers (it breaks down for moving) between the filing cabinets on the left in the last pic and the bed and another two full size 4 drawer cabinets behind the stuff on the right.

We also got the big cabinets from the train room & 2 similar from the storage room moved to the big space in the garage (where the car parks in the winter) and stacked in front of the train layout parts and they are well on the way to filled (mostly with shop stuff). Most of the rest of the big shelves &c are on the other side of the big space and as of now the aisle through there is about 48" wide. I figure that's about the minimum to let the workers carry the old floor out and their equipment in so other than filling the cabinets that's about all we'll be storing in there too.

When I'm done moving shop stuff to the cabinets I have to remove all of the doors downstairs and I need to disassemble 2 desks (1 wooden and 1 steel) and move all of that to the garage and there are a few odds & ends of furniture that will have to go either to the garage or some upstairs.
"But wait" you say "Didn't you say the aisle was as narrow as it could be?" Yep. I'll keep temporarily piling stuff in there (as long as we can get through...) but when I know the crew is coming I'll move it to my parking space and park Eccles outside for a while.

Looks like a lot of work, lol!
