OK - I'll try this again.
Seems we had more damage than we thought from Hurricane Florence. Water came into the laundry room and ME's studio from the joint between the sill plate and the slab - this space used to be the attached 2 car garage so the part that doesn't connect to the house was never curbed. I have ideas to cure this but for now the damage is done.
So here's some pics:
This is a filler that the carpet guys put in to level the taper where the garage doors used to sit. The wood will get removed and that spot filled with concrete.
Backside of the drywall at one location. You can see the mold on the drywall paper. The replacement will be the mold resistant type of drywall. We're also thinking about getting spray foam insulation which I think is not fond of mold.
Overview of the room. Those who have been here will realize that this is NOT how ME likes her studio to look! The piano is bundled up and padded as there isn't much choice other than to work around it - everything else was removed from the room.
