Moving in, Come Hell or High Water!

The contractors worked until one in the morning last night trying to finish up all the final touches. This morning, movers and NACD staff braved the fury of the remnants of Hurricane Hanna in an effort to get NACD moved back into the office.

The company unloaded 3 of 11 trucks in pouring rain and ankle deep water. The storm drain in front of the building could not handle the amount of water coming during the hard down pours, resulting in a plea for help from Krysta to keep the basement from flooding. Water was standing in front of the building and coming over the sides of the walk during hard down pours. Jeremy Peters and his wife Emily came to the rescue, bringing 600 pounds of sand.

Krysta, Jeremy, Nicole and Emily worked hard to fill and stack sandbags to prevent water from spilling down the stairway and flooding the office’s lower level.

Good news…their efforts kept the water from coming down the stairs into the beautiful new basement and the rain subsided. The movers worked almost 4 hours but it was so slow going so they will be back tomorrow for a full day.
