I am so happy. You just cannot imagine the happiness I feel. A roof. A roof over my head. A secure roof with no broken trusses or holes. I am smiling from ear to ear. I know this sounds silly to say one can get so excited over a roof, but it's true. I am thrilled. This is the first step in the restoration of my home. My sanctuary. My nest. The roof is so pretty. It sounds funny to say it is pretty, but it is a pretty roof.
A short list of chores still to come:
A short list of chores still to come:
- Drywall - the drywall guy came today and gave me an estimate. It was higher than the insurance adjuster figured, but we will see if we can get her to change her mind. :)
- Paint
- Clean carpet - when we have the carpeting cleaned, we will know immediately if we need to replace it. If there is a strong smell of mold, the carpeting goes. *between you and me, I think there is going to be mold. I've seen the evidence, but I'll play by the insurance rules.*
- Deck replacement - fingers crossed, this will start next week.
- Window replacement - just ordered the window yesterday. It will take six weeks to come in.
- Remove all trees leaning AWAY from the house - I have no idea when we will start on this.
- Remove trees in back yard - these trees fell into our back yard, but these were trees growing on common (*read, community center property) We will have to deal with the HOA on this. (Oh, I'm on the board of the HOA. It will be interesting to see how this goes.)
- Have a Merry Christmas? I hope so. :)
