Drying Out
The work of drying out my office building has begun. On my floor alone there are two dozen of those floor drying machines, the kind that blow a fast moving stream of air four inches above the ground. They also brought in two huge air driers. Those are set up right outside my office window. Each of them requires a 460 volt feed line. Clear air ducts two feet in diameter are connected to the driers. The ducts are suspended from the ceiling and run up and down the length of the hallways. The workers drilled numerous holes in all the baseboards so the air can get in behind the walls to dry things out. The equipment will be running continually until the end of the week.
Right outside my office, it sounds and feels like a big wind tunnel.

Is it going to be treated for mold?
I'm not sure. I think one of the reasons my employer worked so hard to get blowers and air driers in place as quickly as it did was to mitigate the growth of mold. The building itself is not quite two years old.

I think I'd be working from home -- or wearing some earplugs. How are you managing to get anything done?
