Well. Water. Tell me about it! We lived in a black-and-white cottage after I retired. A dream. In the 2000s, a very wet decade, we were flooded out three times. Farm water inside to hip level. Two months to dry out each time, we living upstairs. Fortunately, insurance covered the cost each time of new carpets, three-piece suite, redecoration, furniture repairs, new washing machine etc. (The third flood followed the second within three weeks).But we lost things like all the photos of our holiday in Australia with family, books, keepsakes. Huge cost of building a flood wall which saved us from the fourth flood four months after it was built (although the water level was lapping its top!) Now we live on high ground with lower ground all around.
Well that puts it all in perspective, sorry about that Steve, actually looking at it tonight a lot of the bases are scrap but the models themselves just really need washing, good news is that the guilding on the Soliel has cleared just a bit of staining on the transom.
