Update: Things went well yesterday. I used the hand pump multiuse sprayer and Pine-sol idea. Got out my old partial face mask I used for painting years ago. Found my box of sealed, new filters I had for it. Cleaned the mask real good, installed new filters and the filter problem was solved. Didn't smell any Pine-sol while down there so it must have been working ok. Put on my rubber boots and rain coat and went down there and wet everything down good including ceiling and walls. Came out, left the doors open and dug a good trench around the entrance while I was waiting for things to dry somewhat.
Got a scoop, like you'd use to scoop bulk corn or oats out of a bin and a 5 gallon bucket. Went back down and got up most of the water....about 5 gallons which was most of it. it took awhile since the water wasn't very deep, but the scoop worked great considering you couldn't pick up but about a cup full of water per scoop...push a scoop of water against the wall and when it came back at you, hit it with the scoop again, picking it up and dumped it in the bucket.
Next it was hook up the 10+ year old Black and Decker electric leaf blower.....pulled the cap off one of the vent pipes and stuck the nozzle in the pipe and turned it on, doors still open. It ran continuously most of the day.....speaks well for B&D's reliability....it'll get to do it again today. By supper time things had dried up pretty well and the floor was drying really fast too........With bright sunlight and a Dew Point of 17*F yesterday (talk about timing......), good North wind blowing, it really helped in getting fast drying. Will repeat today and then button down the hatches as rain is forecast for most of the rest of the week.
So thanks for your help. Like everything else you do, make your plan, work your plan, job done. I like to remember buildings are built one brick at a time....problems are solved one step at a time. Keep your head down, working your plan and when you get to the end of the plan, the job will be done. Wink!

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
