Hey so I'm a home owner in Nassau county in an area that flooded during hurricane Sandy with 3 '-4' of water in the basement. The basement is only about 16" underground and it being finished would double my house size. I am expecting another flood and building accordingly so that I will be able to pump out and dry out with minimal work or risk of mold. I would love advice or critiques on the plan In case I missed anything. Phase 1. Removal of all drywall, wood studs, flooring. Utilities moved from basement to first floor in Includibg washer/dryer. This was done already Phase 2. Increasing window size from 30 wide and 20" tall to 30 wide and 40" tall. They are all egress European style tilt and turn windows made of pvc and stainless. Looking to trim them out in PT before putting them in. Grinding and Polishing cement floor. indoor/outdoor rugs will be used throughout. This will be done by April 21st Phase 3. Installation of 16 gauge 3 1/2" metal studs on deck type PVC tread plate to separate the metal from the basement floor.

Allergy Skin Testing Results Depending on the allergenic substances, reactions to the skin tests may take anywhere from a few minutes to a couple of days. If the substances will react within a few minutes, you can simply take games or books, etc., to the allergist's office to occupy your child while you wait for the allergy skin testing results. If your doctor must send you home after the test to wait for reactions to occur, you will probably be warned not to give your child antihistamines for several days, until the evaluation has taken place. That's because antihistamines may suppress allergenic reactions that the allergist will need to see for proper diagnosis and treatment. When to Retest for Allergies Finally, allergy testing usually isn't done "just once. " Instead, it's likely that your child will need to be seen and re-evaluated with new testing every three years or so. The good news is, many children outgrow allergies as they get older. Ultimately, most children can leave allergy testing entirely behind once they move into puberty and adulthood.
