Okay, so the lady from the Disaster Clean-Up company has been and gone (fully one hour late, *grr*), and the prognosis is good.

To put everyone back in the loop, here's where I originally posted: takeonestepatatime.proboards80.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=2135#20428

Here's what I said at the time:

I'm currently in the throes of trying to replace the floor in my old apartment which reeks of cat pee.

Who knew that three years of almost-constant squalor would result in ruined flooring? ::)

The Home Depot people are refusing to finish the floor until the cat pee smell is eradicated. They made a huge melodramatic production out of it, too, which was both infuriating and embarrassing, although it could have been worse since they don't know that I'm responsible for the mess.

So now I have a company coming in that specializes in cleaning up after disasters (floods, fires, acts of God) in order to take care of the smell. No one else does this. Cat pee is now on par with an Act of God.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

As I said, the prognosis is good. They apparently have a product that specifically targets cat-pee-related smells, and they're coming the day after tomorrow! I am ecstatic, because I was convinced that this nonsense was going last well into November. Now it looks like I may be able to get the floors done before that! I've just left a message with the flooring people so that I can get a new date to finish the installation of the floors.

After this, I will be FREE! FREE!

No more cat-pee-floor-related nightmares! WHEE!
