Seattle had a big windstorm on Dec 14th, and we've been without electricity for 7+ days. and we had flooding in the basement level so we've been staying at the Downtown Red Lion. (including Trader Pup, who enjoys being an Urban Canine)

the water damage specialists came and i left the house because it was warmer to sit in my jeep. and honestly i didnt want to know what they were doing.

they took out the carpet, linoleum, baseboards, they cut into the walls removing 12" of sheetrock along most of the walls. mygod, they moved an entire shelf of tiki mugs without taking anything off.. it was wobbly just sitting there in the middle of the room. so i packed up the mugs...and brought all the booze upstairs..everytime they dropped a crowbar, i winced. half the furniture from the Rongorongo Room is in my living room, there are giant fans blowing and dehumidifiers running for the next 72 hours.

so another home tiki bar has been taken down and wont be put back together for at least 7 weeks. drains must be installed along the back wall which will require jackhammers in my house. swell.

at least i'll be able to update my pictures, and hopefully the RongoRongo Room will rise to glory again. soon.
