Franky finds a HIDDEN STASH during the flood 4K

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

Begin the physically demanding process of removing all movable items from the flooded lower level of the cabin. This includes heavy furniture such as mattresses, couches, and tables, as well as appliances like a large dehumidifier (Whynter brand) and a small fridge/freezer. Work with helpers (Frankie and Zakk) to coordinate lifting and carrying these items through the water. Ensure all electrical items are unplugged before moving them to prevent any risk of electric shock. Plan for the eventual careful removal of the furnace, noting that it contains expensive Freon that should not be lost.

Goal: Protect personal property and critical infrastructure from flood damage and electrical hazards.
