Damage Assessment

Following up on my earlier rain/basement flood post, in the end, we did have to cut out the drywall directly below the windowsill.  It was clear that while most of the water came down over the sill and onto the carpet, this area had wicked up some of the moisture into the drywall and was feeling a bit spongey.  I got some help from my friend/neighbor on how much to cut out so we made sure to get everything that could be compromised.  We dried this part out and made sure to mitigate any future mold growth in the area and could then work on figuring out how to patch this newfound feature in our basement wall.
