Oh, god, I am absolutely in love with the wet/dry vac now (Ridgid is the brand) - total lifesaver here. We mostly use it for cleaning up wood dust, but it *can* hold ten gallons of water, and oooph, we would have been in bad shape trying to run a bucket brigade on this. We didn't even realize that one of the nozzles was specifically for water and THAT made it much faster to move the water around.
