Took a long time to get the stuff out of our house and pack things like dishes. Gutting not so long
I'd say 60% was gutted as of yesterday.
Getting Sheetrock is going to be challenging

Guy on wafb said allow 4 to 6 weeks for wood to dry. I don't really know how long it takes.
I am not living in my house that flooded so I can afford to not sheetrock for that long. Other people,probably not so much.

There is no set time, just need it to get to a certain point with a moisture meter.

My builder said 6 weeks minimum...if you have AC running

After houses is gutted you are better off waiting for all the framing wood to dry before rebuilding. If you're doing stain concrete/overlay you need to wait a few weeks before that process as well.
