2. Map the wet materials

   Cabinet bases, wallboard and the appliance opening receive separate checks. This map helps the Thorsby crew place drying equipment.

• Keep people out from under bulging or dripping ceiling drywall.
• Avoid wet light switches and fixtures; an electrician handles electrical hazards.
